LÖVE

http://love2d.org/wiki/UbuntuSecurity

The above is a simple guide I have written which explains how to security sandbox the LÖVE engine if you're an Ubuntu user. If anyone uses my guide please tell me. It took me ages to write it!

Also: Could one of the wiki admins make a link to my guide somewhere appropriate in the wiki so people can easily find it?

Sorry Mac OS X and Windows users. I'm afraid my guide only applies to Ubuntu users. Maybe your OS has a similar sandboxing technology available?

It seems you're mistaken on one bit. In LÖVE 0.7, the save directory was moved to $XDG_DATA_HOME/love, or ~/.local/share/love by default.

Thanks for the hint. I've created read write access too ~/.local/share/love/. I'll have a look into $XDG_DATA_HOME/love later.

XDG_DATA_HOME is a variable defined by its FreeDesktop.org spec. Many distros don't set this, in which case it should default to $HOME/.local/share/

I checked on my Ubuntu system and it wasn't set. The AppArmor profile is only intended to be used on the Ubuntu distribution, so it looks safe to leave a hard coded path to ~/.local/share/love in the profile. Thanks again for the feedback!
