Gravity well in Love?

Is it possible to make a gravity well in Love? Basically just a circle that pulls objects toward itself with a simulated force of gravity. And then to move that circle around using the keyboard.

the LOVE documentation is absolutely no help to me with this.

According to the documentation, I can drag my main.lua file onto the executable and it'll load the game. It's doesn't work like that in Ubuntu. So how do I do this?
