Do you have to use the callback functions?

Hi, I've only recently begun programming in LOVE, and I'm liking it so far. However, the callback functions are a bit strange for me, and i was wondering if I could use the love lib outside of the callback functions. Thanks!

I assume you mean callbacks like love.keypressed and love.mousereleased? No, you don't have to use them if you don't want to. But you do need to at least use love.update and love.draw.

You can redefine the game loop if you want.

Oh, yeah, that too. I forgot about that.

Yeah. So basically, the only one you have to use is love.run. Still, love.update and love.draw only makes things cleaner and easier.

Indeed. Pretty much every game in existence has update and draw functions, in one form or another.
