It shall become a jump and shoot riddle game.

Image

At the moment its just a room made of shootable tiles
and a jumping, running and shooting sprite with animations.

Jumping: key up or key a.
Shooting: key space or key s.
Moving: key left and key right.

I took some ideas with permission from headchant's amazing tutorials:
http://www.headchant.com/2010/11/26/lov ... llo-world/

Solved:
I want to give it a "I don't care if it blows up your pc or any other electronic device in your household - do what you want with the code" License.
Whats the best License/Way to make that clear?

Uses MIT License.

You can find the source code here.

You didn't say if your game is intended to have an open-source license or not. But actually almost all open-source licenses have that point noted and assured. Why don't look at LOVE license?

Seems it's also real that you didn't got sleben07's worries. Besides be offensive, don't protect and save the software maker.
Lafolie,(not trying entering in some license war don't worry) but do you feel there is something wrong with LOVE license?

Was that being directed at me (saying I am offensive) or just at the license... I don't try to be mean.. :/

@qaisjp
I think we have the same sense of humor.
@coffee
You are right, besides giving me a good laugh, its not realy something i would write under my source.
@Lafolie
I think i will go with the MIT License. Thank you.

@all
Now give me your worst/best critics you have for my project.
Only that way the game will become better.

It's real, but it's also not drafted by lawyers, which might mean it wouldn't count in court.

What are you talking about? I never referred to LÖVE or it's license, you posted that.

No problem, sieben07, I use it too, it's compact, neat and worded correctly.
