LÖVE

Hello,

So I am using ZeroBrane Studio Lua IDE, was really easy to set up. This actually might be a question for them but I thought I'd see if I could get some help here. So you have to have main.lua as your main file correct? I've been doing these tutorials and I like to make new files and save the previous before additions so I can always backtrack the progression of how I ended up at this current source.

How can I test different files without renaming each file to main.lua? I hope that makes sense. For example collision_circles.lua and arrow_follow.lua . Is there a more simple way of running each individual file, without renaming them to main.lua? I'm still learning how to navigate around Lua, so I'm assuming there is a way to just run various lua examples from a main.lua.

Thanks, have a great day.

Just have a single line in main.lua where you require() the file you want to run.

So 2 files have love.load, load.update, load.draw that will still work?

Something like But normally just one folder for every project.

Only the files you require() will actually run, so if you only call require("collision_circles") in main.lua then it doesn't matter what arrow_follow.lua or any other file contains as those will not run.

main.lua: collision_circles.lua: arrow_follow.lua:

I think most ppl just have different folders for different projects and each has a main.lua.
