Do you want to learn Lua or do you want to learn to program? If you just want to learn Lua, read the book "Programming in Lua" by Roberto Ierusalimschy (Lua's creator). Learning Lua is easy, learning to program.. is not. Personally I started by looking at example code and attempting to modify a small part of it (e.g. to change the color of something).

, and why people use images with OBEY written in avatars ??

It is just a joke. Outsiders looking at this forum are supposed to think we are some kind of crazy cult

You are in luck, Lua was developed by Brazilians, so you should be able to find quite a few resources in Brazilian Portuguese: http://www.lua.org/portugues.html

Do you want to learn Lua or do you want to learn to program?

Reading about the engine, i read this: "LÖVE is an *awesome* framework you can use to make 2D games in Lua..."
To make games, I need to learn Lua,or the program uses a diferente language ?

I'm a little confused ...
Just to take some questions

Sockmunkee have some 0.8.0 love tutorials (Click me!, I strongly recommend those)

Eamonn have some 0.8.0 lua & love tutorials (Click me!)

and finally Goature have some tutorials too (Click me!)

lua reference: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/

(love reference can be found at the wiki)

and of course you can always ask on these forums (as long as you provide a .love)

Programming is something you really need to enjoy(not in the beginning though), otherwise this is a waste of time.

Good luck comrade

and if you want to know:

is löve capable of multiplayer/co-op games?
A: yes

can i make commercial games with löve?
A: yes

P.S:That's pretty good English for a non-English person

You are in luck, Lua was developed by Brazilians,

I don't knew that language was created by brazilians xDDD, Now i know

No, you'll need to learn Lua.

However, learning Lua is much easier if you know how to write programs in any other programming language. Just like learning to read. It's much easier to learn how to read English if you already know how to read Portuguese, otherwise you'll have to learn what all those letters mean and how they form words as well.

Learning how to program is tough, and can take easily take months. Learning how to program well takes years.

I found this helpful. Might be good to give you a quick overview and a few reminders of how lua works.

I still refer to these notes randomly when I code for LOVE. I like their conciseness.
