LÖVE

I hope we can fix this. Having to zip up every time you want to test your game makes LÖVE whole less fun.

i sure hope so. so far what i have seen, love is the easiest engine to start with. i even made a working hamster ball.
now i just need to add the tag "EXTREME!!" to it, add some explosion particles and buy a yatch from all the profits.

What if you try love.exe instead of love on the command line, it might be that the engine mistakenly recognizes it as a .love with internal love. Though it certainly appears to be the case that the stderr.txt matches none of the lines you gave us.

i tried that as well.

Go to: And do: (Assuming main.lua is at C:\Program Files\LOVE\Sxxource\main.lua)

I had the same problem. And the problem was that I had a native Scandinavian letter in the path. So it looks like the file system is the problem maker here (Win XP).
