[I'm new] Stuck on pig screen?

Sorry if this is obvious, but I'm new to love, and when I downloaded it and ran it... it's just a picture of a pig with hearts spinning around it. It doesn't do ANYTHING else. I have tried pressing keyboard buttons, mouse buttons, waiting 12 HOURS, still nothing. PLEASE help! I really want to use a lua engine as I know quite a bit about lua and want to make games with it!

Haha, 12 hours! :D I got bored after 2 ;). No but seriously, I've been in the same spot as you, pretty frustrating. Don't worry, everything is working. The pig is a demo, which is displayed if you don't provide any code. LOVE is like an emulator, you provide code and love executes it, nothing more. This is not a development environment of any sort. You just edit the lua files in notepad or any other text editor and then drag&drop the folder onto the LOVE icon. For more details refer to Bartbes link.
