LÖVE

It was the smallest resolution I could find! I could have used Gimp or something to scale it down! I'll make them bigger in future! ^_^

*coughsarcasmcough*

I made this build.xml Ant script to package my games. It's able to build Windows (both 32/64 bit version) and OS X packages, additionaly it can also change Windows executable icon using resource hacker (works on Linux with wine). The nice thing is that everything game-related is placed inside build.properties file, so the original build.xml script can be reused without any modifications.

Sample build.properties file (it has to be in the same directory as build.xml): See the build.xml for more properties.

Command line usage (requires Apache Ant): The zip packages are generated inside the dist directory (can be changed using dist.dir property).

I hope that is helpful

Hi everyone,
I guess it does already exists, or you probably already have your own, but I just finished a Bash script that automates game releases.
You launch it at your project's root, and it does all the long stuff that is downloading Löve, zip your sources and packages everything.
So, please tell me what you think

So I've got a bit of an issue. I'm using a Mac, and if I run love through the command line to execute a folder for a game I'm making, it runs just fine.

However, if I try dragging the folder onto love.app or try making my own .love file, I just get that terrible pig.

I'm not sure what the problem is. If I download .loves posted here, they run fine; if I unzip them and drag the folder onto love.app, it works fine. It just seems to hate my games.

I really don't know what the problem is, so I'm attaching my current work as a zip. Any help? I'm using love to make a game for a class project and I don't want to have to get the professor to go through some convoluted process just to get my game working.

Are you using Mac OS 10.9? If so and you haven't downloaded LÖVE within the last 1.5 months, you might need to redownload it - there was a bug in the interaction between LÖVE 0.8.0 and Mac OS 10.9 which prevented love.app from working properly in situations like that, but I updated the download with a hot-fix patch (see more here).

I need some help, i m not manage to export into a .exe, when i finally managed thou it was only the rubber piggy!
Any idea why!

I spent about 2 days making this and now im a bit upset.

Hey guys i am trying to make a .love file using windows 7 64bit but i am finding it a bit of a struggle ....

i am following the wiki,I highlight all the files in the game folder ( main.lua , conf.lua , etc ...) right click and press send to compressed zip file , i rename the file to xxx.love , but it still remains a zip file .... i have tried downloading whatever active program and scrips there are in this thread but i am having no luck .... what am i doing wrong ?

PS: when i drag the xxx.love (zip folder) and run it with the love application i get a black screen but i guess that is normal since it does not have a .love extension.

Could you upload one of those .love files you made?

Here it is ..
