LÖVE

Hello everyone!

For almost 3 months I've been working with OpenGL in C++ and made some pretty cool stuff with it and I started making my own engine/framework but soon I discovered it takes a lot of time to develop it.Not because the code is super advance but because of all the optimisations and stuff that needs to be done.
So here comes my question.Two days ago I discovered: https://github.com/love2d/love and I'd like to continue working on this as my own project on github.Maybe change the name of the project and of course change a lot of code and basically make it on my own my.
Am I allowed to make this kind of things? Of course I'll let in a file the original creators of the project and let the licence text inside all .cpp .h files.

Off topic: Have you guys moved the IRC chat channel from OFTC?

I recommend you read up on LÖVE's license to find out the exact details of what you can do. In addition, I'm pretty sure that mirror hasn't been updated for 5 years. The latest, official repository is on BitBucket and is linked from the homepage.

If I understand correctly the licence let me do whatever I want with it if I credit the authors.But my intentions are to see if the authors of Love are okay with my idea. And yes I'm aware that the love I want to use is 5-6 years old .

That version of the LÖVE source is 5 years out of date – I really don't recommend using it. The official repository is at https://bitbucket.org/rude/love and has the tagged source code for every LÖVE version between 0.9.2 and 0.6.0 (and you could put a fork on Github by importing the mercurial repository to git somehow, probably.)

Sure, as long as you follow the rules of the zlib license, which aren't very restrictive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zlib_License#Terms

Nope! It's still #love in irc.oftc.net.
