that solution doesn't work for me because im using the appimage version of love so i can't use the love command.
appimage is still executable, it doesn't work any differently from programs installed in different way. Just make sure that love appimage is runnable and run it in terminal. For example:
Code: Select all
/path/to/appimage/love-11.4-x86_64.AppImageYeah I can easily run love it self through a terminal just copy the location of love and past it into the terminal and press enter and it will run perfectly fine. I'm asking how to run my love game and be able to write to the console.GVovkiv wrote: ↑Wed Aug 02, 2023 10:53 amappimage is still executable, it doesn't work any differently from programs installed in different way.

Pass argument to game path to love appimage, where main.lua is?
Code: Select all
/path/to/appimage/love-11.4-x86_64.AppImage /path/to/gameTo run your game through terminal, just add path to folder with main.lua to it:CodeRed wrote: ↑Wed Aug 02, 2023 2:42 pmYeah I can easily run love it self through a terminal just copy the location of love and past it into the terminal and press enter and it will run perfectly fine.

/path/to/appimage/love-11.4-x86_64.AppImage path/to/folder/with/main/luaoh thank didn't know you could just pass an argument to game path to love appimage where main.lua is. That fixed the problem thank you.GVovkiv wrote: ↑Wed Aug 02, 2023 3:12 pmPass argument to game path to love appimage, where main.lua is?
Like:And add io.stdout:setvbuf("no") on top of main.lua?Code: Select all
/path/to/appimage/love-11.4-x86_64.AppImage /path/to/game
As I said, appimage love is just love, packaged as appimage, you can do with it same things, as other love *versions*, as dnf or flatpak distribution.
