Description

LÖVE is a powerful framework designed for developing 2D games using the Lua programming language, and it is completely free to use for various projects, whether they are friendly open-source endeavors or commercial ventures. To get started with a simple game, simply create a new folder at any location on your computer and launch your preferred text editor; for example, Sublime Text is an excellent choice available on all operating systems, with built-in support for Lua. Inside the folder you just created, make a new file and label it main.lua, then input the following code into the file and save your work to proceed. This initial setup will lay the groundwork for your game development journey using LÖVE.
