LÖVE

Is a browser plugin planned?

No.

What for? In-game web browsers aren't horribly useful...

I guess he meant the other way around, as discussed many times before, always with the answer rude gave.

Ahh, right.

Well, that is an interesting proposition as well. Anyone have any idea what it takes to make a browser plugin akin to Java, Flash or Quake Live?

What it takes:

• Endless amounts of time
• Endless amounts of problems
• Endless amounts of bugs
• Endless amounts of complaints
• Endless amounts of antidepressants
• Endless amounts of lists like this
• You can probably fill the rest yourself

It's just too hard, and it ruins LOVE.

So you have experience with this?

Who would ever do LOVE for other things than joy? (EDIT: Oh, right. I guess people do it also for money.)

I think I got this link on #freegamer. Basically: Quake. In your browser. Without rewriting. Also: Lua.

Might be 10 years before this becomes significant though.

PS/EDIT2: Would you do it for money, rude? Would you?

I don't see the big advantage, all it could bring is Flash crappiness. I think all it can do is make LÖVE worse, because people are lazy and still want to hold on to their Flash ways, or possibly something that is even worse.

Basically: I don't think LÖVE is ready yet (and that's not something bad).

I think it's perfect for LÖVE.
