LÖVE

Hi, I am new to both Lua and Love.

I am following the startup at:
https://love2d.org/wiki/Getting_Started

But, the run does not work. I did what the following page instructed me to do:
https://love2d.org/wiki/Notepad%2B%2B

When I go to Run in Notepad++, I type the following:
"C:\Program Files\LOVE\love.exe""$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"

Yet, I push the button "Run" and nothing happens... I even saved it as a Macro and tried it like that. Can someone help with this?

P.S. I check the following page, but he isn't having my same issue. So, I am not sure how pertinent it is to this post:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=77946

Just making sure... C:\Program Files\LOVE\love.exe does exist and points to löve, right?

You should have a main.lua file existing at the very least... try adding a little bit of code to it. For example: If all else fails, try opening a "Command Prompt" (search for cmd, it should be the first result) and typing: If that works it's a Notepad++ problem; if not then Lua isn't installed correctly.

When I try to run from the command prompt, it keeps giving me:

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

I downloaded Lua from here (it was 10 times easier with their exe):
https://code.google.com/p/luaforwindows/

And I have the Lua command line with SciTe here, and it seems to work fine. How else could I debug this?

P.S. Does the main.lua file need to be in the same directory as the interpreter, because i know that this can cause issues with python..

Downloading lua has nothing to do with it (it's bundled with love). You need to download love from the main page, and provide the path to love.exe.

You may be missing a space between " "

wiki

"c:\your\path\to\love.exe" "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"

vs yours

"C:\Program Files\LOVE\love.exe""$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"

Thanks to both u guys.. It was the space! Haha [Embarrassed laughter]
