LÖVE

So if you haven't seen the itch.io app, then I urge you to check it out.

Making standalone binaries for windows/osx is pretty easy (with linux being a bit more tricky) but some linux users already have love installed. Itch.io requires some form of executable to be run from the download.

This script when included in a linux package on itch.io will allow you to use locally installed instances of love to run your .love games.

It's open source, and it's pretty simple. Here's a quick tutorial video for anyone who's new to this kind of stuff:

Looks very user-friendly.
But am I correct assuming that it only works on Ubuntu if there is dependency to zenity?

I have zenity installed on arch, but I think I chose it because it's a rather common install. The script also checks to see if zenity is installed and uses it, otherwise it will just spit info out on the stdout.

Ok, nice. thanks

Very cool, thank you! :D
