Post by pielago »

I saw a videos (youtube) how to turn a project.love in to project.exe for windows ..
I am using mac and I don't see tutorials about it?

its nice to have it for programmers the .love

It's explained on the wiki here:
http://www.love2d.org/wiki/Game_Distribution

Why is the wiki out of the question? Can you not open it or something?

If that's the case, here's most of the info:
Once you have your game prepared as .love file you can make your game available for MacOS/X users using the official LÖVE Zipped Universal Build from https://www.love2d.org. This will then run directly your game instead of the LÖVE demo.

These are the steps required:

Unpack the Zipped Universal Build from https://www.love2d.org
Rename love.app to SuperGame.app
Copy your SuperGame.love to SuperGame.app/Contents/Resources/
Modify SuperGame.app/Contents/Info.plist
Zip the SuperGame.app folder (e.g. to SuperGame.osx.zip) and distribute it.
When modifying the file SuperGame.app/Contents/Info.plist make sure to change the values of the following XML-tags:

CFBundleIdentifier
CFBundleName
and remove the section UTExportedTypeDeclarations which ensures that Mac OS does not associate all .love files with your app.
