LÖVE

I am new to lua and I am going to be dedicated to learning it.
A few questions
note: I did not read through all the tutorials and documentation
if there are answers to these questions in any of the documentation can you please post the link.

• Can you make a save/load function?
  Can you make different screens? (Like a game screen an item screen etc.)
  Can you use this to make a mainly text and picture based game?
  Is there a lua visual editor? (Like where you can see what you are making)
  Can this be used to make a mouse based strategy game?
  Can this make very extensive adventure games?
  Is there a random function? (like choose a random action out of another lua file?)

That's all I have for now.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, see love.filesystem.

Of course.

Yes.

No.

Yes.

"Very extensive" is too vague.

Use Lua's built-in math.random().

Thank you.
When I say extensive adventure, I mean very large in gameplay, where it would take at least 10+ hours to beat or something.

I'd start small and work my way up to that, when learning Lua it's important to make small "demos" as you learn.

Ok, thanks for all the help.
I will work more when I'm not on a laptop.

Oh, good luck with him/her!

Haha! Epic!
"Brb, hurricane..."


Seriously, though, I hope it works out.
