LÖVE

Hello everyone, so if someone noticed I am doing a project: Learning Lua/Love2D. So far project is going well. It started three days ago, so during these 3 days I learned basics of lua and syntax and some advanced stuff maybe, but I didn't understand some of that well, for example (metatables, inheritance, OOP and iterators) this stuff is really complicated for me... So I am thinking can I go and try to use Love2D with this experience?

I never did any Lua before diving into Love2d. So it is entirely up to you.

What experience did you had, before diving into Love2D?

What I did was starting with Love2D right away, and when I needed to know how to do something I googled it. So if I wanted to do something with tables, I looked information about tables and their functions. Personally I see no problem with this, although most people recommend learning Lua itself first.

I'd say start by getting an image on screen, then get the image to move, then get the image to bounce off the walls, then try to make it move by key inputs, then try a lot more.

Yeah, starting small is a really cool idea and adding something small to it is fun!

I'd just like to add that it's called LÖVE. Love2d.org is merely the domain name, not the framework itself.

I know that it's called like that, but I am just lazy to CTRL+V that symbol

If you know how lua works than you can start learning love 2d

I'd say you can start even without knowing Lua. I learnt Lua by using LÖVE for example. Some basic programming knowledge will help though.
