So you have a crappy computer and you can't have images that are not po2. Most games on the forum will need padding.
If you use Linux, you're in luck.
I've written a shell script that takes a .love, unpacks it, and does the usual padding.lua magic usually done by hand.
It requires
- bash
- zenity
- unzip
- echo
- sed
- mv
... so it should run out of the box for most people.
For maximum sweetness you can make your favourite filebrowser unlove .loves automatically.

I made a mistake. But I fixed it.

What is "po2"?

It is short for power of 2 (2^N). Old graphic cards or drivers have problems handling images not of such a width or height. It can be solved by padding the image.

That makes sense. Just never seen that shorthand before.

This is handy. Of course, coders should put padding in regardless.

I don't quite understand, what does padding do?

As far as I can gather, it adds transparent extra bits to the image so that it is "po2."
