LÖVE is an *awesome* framework you can use to make 2D games in Lua. It's free, open-source, and works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
RUNNING GAMES
-------------
In Windows or other graphical enviroments, just open the .love file you want to
run with the love binary, such as love.exe. (~^-^)~
In a console, type "love" followed by the relative or absolute path to a directory
(or archive).
Examples:
* love mygame.love
* love /home/hax/ultragame
Remember that what you are trying to run at least should contain the file "main.lua".
Compilation
-----------
Windows:
Use the project files for Visual C++ 2008 or 2010 (2010 preferred) located in the platform dir.
*nix:
Run platform/unix/automagic, then run ./configure and make.
OSX:
Use the XCode project in platform/macosx.
Dependencies
------------
-SDL
-OpenGL
-OpenAL
-Lua
-LuaJIT
-DevIL with MNG and TIFF
-FreeType
-PhysicsFS
-ModPlug
-mpg123
-Vorbisfile
! WARNING !
-----------
This software is not complete. This is just a preview. Don't expect to find any
interface consistencies between releases at all. With each release, everything
you once knew and loved may be brutally murdered. By which I mean removed and/or
changed.
