Hello Everyone, I'm Bug_Coder.

Hi there, Greetings from Ireland.

I discovered the LOVE framework recently and I'm very impressed with it's ease of use and capabilities and so after a week of browsing these forums anonymously I've decided to sign up.

I first learned to program in the 1980's on my ZX Spectrum and as a hobbyist I've been writing bug ridden code in various languages ever since.

Looking forward to being a part of this community and getting to grips with Lua \ LOVE.

all the best for now,


Bug Coder.

Welcome. I am not a regular here but have always loved Lua and different game devs that uses its language.

Haha, me too! Except it was a Commodore 64 in my case. I definitely struggled to wrap my head around some of the more unique Lua features, but keep at it and you'll eventually get it.

Aren’t we old? Coded a 2 player snake game back in 1981 with just the manual and pen and paper. Went the next day to my friends house and typed that into his machine. These were the fun days.
My first machine was a C64, then a CPC64, a C64 again. Then Amiga 1000, Atari Stf1024, then Amiga 500. From that PCs and Macs. Wish I had never sold any of these machines.

Thanks everyone for the friendly welcome.

Nice to see others of a similar age to myself still tinkering with code.

I have tons of respect for the programmers of the 8 Bit era - They crammed entire worlds for us to explore into tiny amounts of ram
and kept us entertained for hours.

If I am to do anything serious with the Love framework it will be a homage to the isometric adventure games of that time.

I'm happy to report that due to the info provided on the wiki I've had an absolutely painless set up process of my development environment just now on a fresh install of Linux Mint 21.2 using Sublime Text as my code editor. I'm delighted that it all went so well as I really wanted to get away from bloated IDE's such as VS Code and the like.
