Hello lovers!

Right now i am working on a single player game.But lets say i would like to make a mp game in the future using love2d.How can i do that and where i can learn it? I heard something about lua sockets but i am not quit sure what they are or how i can use them.Have a nice day!

Hi. In my opinion I think that multiplayer games (especially action-based multiplayer games) are not that simple to pull off not only because of the technical aspect of learning the LuaSocket library but also because you have to figure out how to deal with lag and so on.
A good starting point would be:

No,no sorry i just want to make a game where a player is a square and maybe you shoot another player who is also a square.I dont think this is extremely hard.However now i`am focused just on singleplayer but i`d like to know a little bit of how the multiplayer works.
