So,I created the lua script like it says: https://love2d.org/wiki/Getting_Started

But how do I turn it into a love file?!

You put the script (and every file it needs) inside a zip (ZIP! Rar and 7z do not work, so don't use them! Use a zip!) and you rename it to .love instead of .zip, what OS are you on?

Try this:

From the command line:

Go to your project directory a la cd ~/Projects/EpicGame
Run zip -r ../${PWD##*/}.love *
Your fully-prepared .love file shall be located right outside of your project directory
Cake!

Or maybe the instructions here will be more clear (though they're virtually the same):

If you only want to run the code, then you don't need to create a .love file. In that case, to run the script in

Code: Select all

folder/main.lua

just type

Code: Select all

love folder

Replace "folder" by the name of the folder.

You can also do

Code: Select all

cd folder

and then

Code: Select all

love .

(notice the dot ".")
