LÖVE

Hello. I am currently doing the CS50G online course provided by Harvard. The first assignment consists of modifying a file of Pong to implement a basic AI, but I'm having trouble even getting the game opened.
I am using LÖVE 0.10.2 on mac (before anyone asks, this is the version we're supposed to be using for the course). I tried using the instruction detailed on https://love2d.org/wiki/Getting_Started, but with no luck. Dropping the assignment0 folder (the one that contains the game's files) on the love app, as well as typing "open -n -a love /Users/[My username]/Desktop/assignment0" in the terminal leads to the same result: LÖVE opens, but gives me this screen: https://love2d.org/imgmirrur/Ctk7Cu4.png
What's weird is that if I use the latest version instead, Pong does open, but I get an error message about a variable being nil or something.And if I write a path to a file that does not exist in 0.10.2 it tells me the path does not exist.
Am I missing something? Did the instructions for opening games on the "getting started" page change between versions?

I'm doing that course too. Definitely stick to 0.10.2 until you are very comfortable with the differences. I'm probably going to use 11.3 for my final project, now that I am getting ready to start that, FWIW.

Does '/Users/[My username]/Desktop/assignment0' directly contain main.lua? The folder you open using love needs to have a main.lua file or you see the "No Game" screen you took a shot of. The directions have not changed. But your 0.10.2 launch is not getting a folder with a 'main.lua' file at the top level, so it's showing the "No Game" scereen.

The assignment0 folder does contain a main.lua file... I have not modified the folder the course gave us in any way.

In that case, try using the second method on the wiki page to run it and see if you can get a better error message.
I don't have a mac handy to try on right now, but I just re-downloaded the zip and confirmed that 0.10.2 runs it fine here (Linux).
