Cannot run .love File

[kaiwegner]

Hi guys,

first of all great library / framework you have here. I got excited by the screenshots and started to try some developing. The last 3 days I learned a lot about lua and created a game. It's nice to see an engine that actually helps you get what you want and not makes you do thinks you don't like.

Now - my problem is, that I can run the developed game from the commandline like so:

Code: Select all

peta:Grane kaiwegner$ love . 

or like this (one directory up):

Code: Select all

peta:Build kaiwegner$ love Grane

what I cannot do is pack this into a .love file. when I use my macs builtin compress to zip-file and rename it to .love I end up with a black screen with no title in love.

Please help me distribute my first game.

Solved: As a mac user you should not pack the directory where your project is in but all the files inside. So that the main.lua file is in the root of the zip-file. And then rename it to .love.

Thanks anjo!

The next version will warn you when the .love is wrongly packaged. (the current repo version already does that)
