Embedded Löve

[gordebak]

I saw some online interpreters for Lua. I don't know anything about this so I want to ask: Is it possible, some day, that LÖVE can be embedded into web pages like, say, Flash.

I think if the server computer is a powerful machine, it could be done. Any ideas on this one?

[Ellohir]

I think this would be client side, just like flash...

There actually is a Flash-like LÖVE plugin, for Firefox and I don't know what else. It works, but not terribly well and it's a huge security hole. A LÖVE plugin would need to be at least SELÖVE, if not more restrictive.

What's SELÖVE?

[slime]

A "security for the average lover" version of LÖVE which has many Lua and LÖVE abilities removed in an effort to prevent malicious code from doing any harm, if you're worried about that.

It's a fork of LÖVE that adds sandboxing, so you can play any .love you find on the internet without having to fear it doing naughty things (or being just broken and causing a mess by accident). See its ugly and out-of-date website.
