love2d and 3D games

Hello,

I wonder if love2d can be efficiently extended to perform 3d games.

That is to say, can love2d use a discrete GPU in order to make a 3d game run smoothly ?

In other words, Is it a good idea to build a 3d game with love2d ?

Regards

I guess it depends on what you aspire to do. I suggest to check the 3D games published so far and judge by yourself.

Löve already uses your GPU, regardless of it being emulated by your intel CPU or you having a 3090Ti; it uses OpenGL (for now) and it can do basically anything you can code yourself; 3D games will run smoothly if you know what you're doing, there are already decent 3D libraries and demos made for/with löve; as for whether it's a good idea, that's subjectively up to you.
