New Game

[TurtleP]

Hello all,

I have recently played a game, Mari0 made in LOVE. It is open source, so when I observed the code, I felt really close to it, as it is as simple-looking with certain aspects of VB (my favorite--second favorite now) programming language. (Third is Java). So, I have decided to take up LOVE. I have a few questions.

1) I have a Main.lua, so what should I put here, loading stuffs?
2) I have various towns and a player. Should they have seperate .lua files from each other and the Main.lua?

Other than that, I am sure I will come to LOVE--this even further and your community! Many thanks with responses.

If you are interested learning how to program Lua, check out the references on the wiki.
If you are interested in learning love, and do not know Lua, learn lua.
If you know lua, check out my tutorial.

Ss for your questions:
1) You want to put all the callbacks in main.lua. See the wiki for more information.
2) That is entirely up to you, but I would highly suggest it, and using modules in lua.

Other than that, I am sure I will come to LOVE--this even further and your community!

I do not understand what this means, but welcome!

It was a pun. He was making a hilarious joke. Or is it "an hilarious joke"?

Don't worry too much about learning lua. I didn't know it when I started with löve and didn't have a problem with it. It's really easy, if you've programmed before and know three languages it won't be hard.

What I suggest very hard is to look at the wiki. Specially some of the tutorials like Hamster Ball: https://love2d.org/wiki/Tutorial:Callback_Functions or Callback Functions: https://love2d.org/wiki/Tutorial:Callback_Functions

So, if you have a problem, first look for it in the wiki, and then post it here so we can help.

Welcome!

Welcome to Love community and forum.
Since you already know some other languages you can speed a bit your Lua learning here (http://luatut.com/crash_course.html). Tutorials in WIKI are the best way to start with this framework.

Have fun around and I wish you success in development of fine projects with LOVE framework.
