Re: Is LOVE good enough?

Yes, but in the same way that your graphics are simple but competent, the code must be handled in a simple but competent manner. With your minimal coding experience, don't expect to be able to make a game with the same amount of polish as your art. You can, however, make a very effective demo. Chara...

Re: LUA 5.1 or LUA 5.2 ?

The "Getting started" page does not mention what version of Lua I should use ? Precompiled versions of LÖVE ship with Lua. If you complie LÖVE from source, you can use whatever version you want. You can even use alternative Lua implementations like LuaJIT . The developers, however, always...

Re: Drawing an Image FROM and Image

Beware that stuff which works fine on the wiki/forums for 0.7.2 might fail horribly under 0.8.0.

Re: Lua 5.2 released, is there a plan to use it?

Note that you can start compiling Lua 5.2 with LÖVE right now and start reporting what breaks.
