Executing Programs Within Love2D Project

[cjlucas85]

Is anyone aware of a means of executing a love2d project that is stored within *.love?

The directory structure will look like this:

• main.lua
  game1.love
  game2.love

Or it will look like this:

• main.lua
  game1/
  game2/

The reason I want to execute game1 or game2 is because I want to make a game kiosk. The idea is that the Kiosk will execute the game selected from a menu, and the game selected will execute over the game in another window; in Windows and Linux this effect will pop the game over the Kiosk. I can get this to work with os.execute() and running the Kiosk by executing "love Kiosk/"; however, because os.execute() is relative to the current working directory I have to put in os.execute("Kiosk/" .. gameSelected) in order to run the sub game, and this forces the project to be in a folder and not a love extension executable, which I want to be able to do in order to easily distribute it.

The solution here is not to write the Kiosk in LÖVE, sorry.

Alright, thanks for the reply. It helps knowing that it's not possible because there were a few other approaches I had in mind.
