LÖVE

I want to make a MMORPG, I have a good understanding of Love2d and Lua. The only problem is that when it comes to networking I'm clueless. I've watched countless youtube tutorials so I know a few things(very few), but can someone thoroughly explain networking and networking in Love2d?

Please read this if you haven't already.

I understand how big a MMO is and how much time its going to take, but I'm ready to get started. I just need some information about networking and networking in Lua.

Then you are not ready.

So how do I become ready with networking? If you think I shouldn't rush to make a MMO i won't, but how can I make a small multiplayer game in Lua to gain a basic understanding of networking?

Okay. Do you know luasocket and do you know how to use it? LÖVE comes bundled with it, and to use networking in LÖVE you generally use luasocket. The LÖVE wiki has a tutorial about it: Tutorial:Networking_with_UDP. After you've completed it, check out the "See Also" section. If you get stuck somewhere, you can come to the forums to ask us, but try to find a solution yourself first. You'll learn faster that way.

There's http://enet.bespin.org/ too, though it's arguably easier to use luasocket (mainly for distribution purposes).

Its kind of old thread, but you can start here:
