This needs links to Games and Libraries, at the very least.

Yeah, I guess so. --Rude 22:42, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Updating a Link

In the main page, unde Lua section, the manual reference link should be updated to the lua version 5.2.

LÖVE still uses Lua 5.1. It would confuse lovers if it would link to anything else. --Boolsheet 10:24, 4 March 2013 (CET)

Suggesting more links

I'd linkify the first LÖVE in the page, and also add a link to the forum and another to the HG tree.

LOVE:About

Do we want to fill out LOVE:About or not? Because it is linked to from the bottom of every page. --Robin-_gvx 09:45, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

If it's on every page... we can't say no, can we? --Bartbes 10:00, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

So... who will do that? --Robin-_gvx 10:03, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Requesting a deletion

Is there a good way to suggest a page to be deleted. I would suggest this:

http://love2d.org/wiki/DistanceJoint:setDampingRatio

The reason is that the function does not exist in the Lua binding by that name, but is called DistanceJoint:setDamping instead. You can verify this from the source code. You should see that only the C++ side calls it by the longer name. -- Pekka

The Tutorials link

It needs more Category: in front of it — like the Games and Libraries links have. --Robin-_gvx 20:35, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

a new hello world

After the hello world, the next should be included, so that actually running is introduced as well!

"Save this as "main.lua" and then either run love . or put the main.lua in a zip file's root ("mygame.zip/main.lua" not "mygame.zip/mygame/main.lua") and rename it to have a ".love" ending, then drag and drop it on the LOVE executable." -- qubodup forgot to sign

You think? I'd say it would clutter the main page a bit. Perhaps a better way would be to link to a tutorial that includes this information (i.e. “See TutorialX on how to run this” or something) --Robin-_gvx 00:40, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

I agree that it would clutter the main page, but it would help reduce the ".love/dir/" perma-problems. And tell noobs how to run it. A hello world is useless without knowing how to run it.. :) --Qubodup 16:48, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

I think this information definitely needs to be with the article. Hello World is probably the first program anyone is going to write, so they need hand holding to get this to run. If this is considered too much clutter, we could always move the page to a tutorial section, and put a link to this from the front page.

Here's an idea for a new Hello World -- 'ello earth!

--[==[ This is a comment block in lua 5.1

a comment is created with the dash dash a comment block is dash, dash, square bracket, square bracket. Like this:
--[[ This is an example of an embeded comment
--]]

This part is still a comment because the first comment block extends until is finds another comment block with the same amount of equal signs -- This is a comment block in Lua ]==]

function love.draw()

   love.graphics.setColor(200,100,200)
   --love.graphics.print(" 'ello earth!! ", 400, 300)
   love.graphics.print(" 'ello earth!! ", love.graphics.getWidth()/2, love.graphics.getHeight()/2)
   lg = love.graphics
   lg.print(" Hello World... There are many ways to do things...", lg.getWidth()/2, lg.getHeight()/2 + 50)
   lg.print(" 'ello Earth... There's a bunchaways to do things..", lg.getWidth()/2-(51*4), lg.getHeight()/2 + 25)

end

Link to PO2 Syndrome

I think the main page needs a link to PO2 Syndrome, with a notice:

Do you or someone else playing your game see white rectangles instead of images? The solution is here.

Or something. --Robin-_gvx 07:37, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Links to the demo programs for the tutorials

I notice that the tutorials here talk about downloading the demo program for the tutorial, but there does not appear to be any links to the demo programs anywhere. Ideally we should link the "download the demo" text to the files. Is there a repository for these? I am not sure which demo programs they are referring to. There are some examples shipped with the love engine, but these are not named in such a way as to match the tutorial texts here.

LOVE:iPhone?

Just wondering if I can make an iPhone game with LOVE?

Löve Logo Graphics

Can Löve Logo Graphics be added in "interesting places"? I can't think of anywhere else it should go.

(I created that page because it seemed like those graphics should be a lot easier to find; the thread wasn't stickied or anything!)

adding nightly builds to the main page

http://nightly.projecthawkthorne.com/ courtesy conroy

I can't save my game.

On windows vista I am having trouble running the game in love and lua so am I just being stupid or is this a problem other people have had?

Link addition

Wouldn't it be a good idea to link to Free_Game_Resources on the wiki mainpage? Somewhere right near "Libraries" and "Software" perhaps? Cyanox (talk) 01:25, 11 February 2018 (CET)

The css is broken in the offline wiki

please fix the css in the offline wiki

-Even if you are taking a landscape photo, make sure your shot has a point of interest. Pictures with no focal point can appear rather empty and boring.  Possible focal factors for a nature landscape photo include large trees, waterfalls, and distant mountains.  Another trick would be to use something that stands out as your focal point, such like a patch of different coloured flowers.
-A good images suggestion that may help you would be to not be scared of getting your function critiqued by others.  Placing your work out there can depart you sensation vulnerable, but it's extremely useful to understand how other people perceive your function.  It could help you enhance a lot.
-Try to experiment with colours, angles and also the various functions of your digital camera. You don't want an authentic item to take a high-quality picture. A great photograph ought to have the ability to create an image of an unoriginal item look fascinating, because of their abilities and creative talent. Experiment to find your style.
-Experiment with different shutter speeds to determine what works best for different scenarios. Photography allows you to seize a split-second moment and also to blur together large time intervals. Using a faster shutter pace will let you catch objects while they are in movement, whilst a slow shutter speed is fantastic for capturing serene all-natural settings.
-Experiment with new issues and do not be afraid to consider authentic pictures. A good photograph ought to develop a personal fashion and display the planet by way of a certain perspective. Avoid classic pictures that you have noticed a thousand occasions. Look for unique angles and use your creative abilities.
-Many cameras allow you to set the white stability. I have taken photography or some designs and escorts girl london. during my final visit within the United kingdom. This setting tells the digital camera which colors to determine as highlights. When capturing in artificial mild (indoors) set the whilst stability environment towards the "artificial light" style. It'll make your pictures look as if they were shot in natural mild.
-When attempting to consider a great photograph, keep it easy. Don't fuss with all of the bells and whistles your camera provides. Often, you can create a powerful photograph without needing to perform with various color settings and movement settings. Rather you will discover yourself wasting valuable time and missing photograph possibilities.
-Try relocating in nearer for your subject when you are using photos. If you take photos from different distances, you will be in a position to get a few different perspectives and some might come out much better than others. Try to obtain where the topic of one's photo fills the entire viewfinder of one's digital camera - this may provide you with a great deal much more particulars from the topic instead than simply filler details.
-An important tip to think about when dealing with photography is the fact that you mostly wish to use the rule of thirds when using landscape pictures.  This implies that you would like to have 2/3 of one's shot land and 1/3 sky, or vice versa.  This is a guide to assist body your shot properly.
-Be aware that the weather will influence your pictures. those london escorts photos appears incredible correct ? take a glance [url=http://www.bestescort4u.com/tottenham-court-road-escorts] Tottenham Court Road escorts homepage[/url] You might not understand it whenever you take the picture, but a darkish sky will give a really gloomy environment for your picture. Compose your photos accordingly and let the weather inspire you for interesting creations. You can also wait for various kind of climate before you decide to take photos.
-Maintaining your camera extremely steady is the important in capturing images which are crisp and really sharp. Numerous cameras have an automated stabilizer built right into it to allow for some leeway.  If you are nonetheless having issues maintaining your digital camera steady, invest in a few type of a tripod.
-Firstly photography should be pleasant. They should be something that you do to remember a specific time, place or occasion that you want to become in a position to show other people and recall your self. Make sure you are getting fun when you are using pictures and you will be passionate about studying new skills. Do not consider it so seriously that it becomes demanding.
-Understand and anticipate the impact that wind will have around the pictures which you take. For example, in the event you are preparing on capturing flowers, steer clear of days where the wind is extremely energetic. When flowers and plants are stable, you'll have the very best chance to get the highest quality and backbone in your picture. In situations where you do not have a option, this kind of as weddings, possess a contingency plan. Are there sheltered locations where the wind may have less impact?
-Make sure you possess the correct lighting before using a photograph. Lights is probably the most essential factor in producing a great black and white photograph, because it impacts the feel, contrast and shape of the image. Side lights can create some dramatic photographs as it produces shadows and highlights the edges of shapes.
