LÖVE

Is there any existing support in LÖVE or Lua in general, to access the bluetooth features of a device? I was wondering if I could make a game in love for android and use bluetooth as a way to create a local multiplayer experience. Or, if there is nothing like that using bluetooth, what are other good ways to achieve this?

I've done some searching here on the forums but I couldn't find anything about it...
Any help would be appreciated

i dont thing bluetooth is suitable, much better to rely on a local server on the same wifi as it is virtually the same for both local and remote network just different network configurations...

Ah it takes me back. The times where the only way to get multiplayer on a phone was to use Bluetooth. It was glitchy as all hell, and very few games supported it and they were all garbage, and of course you needed a buddy who got nothing better to do.

So yeah just spare yourself a trouble and make a normal network connection.

Spaceteam uses bluetooth or local wifi (it's not made with LOVE, but just as an example).

I think local wifi may be the way to go anyway.

(Also Spaceteam is amazing and everyone should play it. Great at parties!)
