Simple Platform Game Engine

[gomez]

Hi everybody,

I started studying about the lua and löve2d, and I wanted to start doing make a simple platform game, but i don't know where to start. Someone recommend me some tutorial or engine for my study?

First of all, I don't think I'd recommend a platformer as your first LOVE game. Making a good, fun platformer with glitch-free collisions can be a pretty difficult thing to do, at least compared to, say, making a shmup or pong-clone or a maze game. If you're fairly comfortable with programming in Lua, or in general, then this may not be an issue...but if this is all new to you, then a platformer may not be a good start

That being said, these links may be helpful:
