LÖVE

So im trying to create a .love file for my game.

What i did: open the Game folder, select all the files in it, add to archive with win rar, renamed the file to testGame.love.

When i try to open the .love with doubleclick, it says "NO GAME", yet if i drag the folder where i had my files into love.exe it works as it should.

help

EDIT: i've tried this with a simple hello word and it doesnt work. and yes the main file is in the root of the archive

When you use "add to archive", the file extension has to be ".zip" initially, or it won't work. You can't use a .rar, or a .tar.gz or anything else (as far as I know) but .zip.

thanks alot.

its working now. i created the love file and then the exe file.

if i want to make the game available for a computer without LOVE "installed", i have to include all the files from my /LOVE folder or just the .dll ones? because i tried to do it with only the exe file and the dll and the game crashed on my other computer

Yes, you need to include the .dll files with the .exe file. The license file as well.
