LÖVE

So I made a love2D program(you can find it at: https://sites.google.com/site/hilandprograms/home), I've tested it on 2 64 bit window computers and a mac computer, they all run fine. While testing it on a computer though, it just gives a black screen and freezes. I don't know if the school computer is 64 bit or 32 bit, so I ran the 32 bit which should run on any computer. Still no luck.

Was wondering if the issue was since the computer wasn't powerful enough, or something similar to that.

Hey FlashFire,

I made a .love out of the source and ran it on my Linux machine, and that seemed to run OK. I would try the 32-bit version on any Windows machine if you can and see how that goes, but it probably has to do with the one machine itself. Maybe it's not powerful enough hardware, lacking some major upgrades, or just too bloated after years of use.

You could maybe try running Linux from a flash drive (not installing, just living on the flash drive) and try your game off of there, if you really would like to use that particular computer or can't really use something else. Puppy or Bodhi Linux could probably do the trick, if any at all.

Can you give us the specs of this other machine that won't run it? You didn't say anything about it. For all we know it might be a 386 running Windows 3.1. Haha, probably not. Still, Löve should run on most machines made in the past long time. Do you use any special features like canvases or shaders?

It's most likely similar to one of the following:

Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2220 @ 2.4G0GHz 2.40GHz
5.00 GB RAM
64-bit Operating System Windows 7

or:

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.200GHz 2.20GHz
3.00 GB RAM
64-bit Operating System Windows 7

I forgot to check what type of graphics card, if that's need I'll have to wait until Monday to get it.

Yeah, we'll need the GPU information. Those CPUs are well new enough to run. The GPU is usually the deciding factor when having problems like this.

GPU:
ATI Radeon HD 3470 (Microsoft Corporation)

With the driver:
atidxx32, atidxx64.dll, atiumdag and a few other main drivers.(From dxdiag)

It is most likely similar to this.

GPU:
Intel(R) Q33 Express Chipset Family

Drivers:
igdumd64.dll,igdumdx32

Total Memory: 256 MB

This is probably closer to what the computer has.
