LÖVE

currently if there is an error the love window will display it. Since I already get that error printed out to my shell, it's kind of redundant. Would there be a way to have the love window automatically close as soon as it's done printing the error?

You're looking for this.

In basics, you can just take out the while loop at the end of the love.errhand function.

Have fun!

If you want to hide the error from users and instead display a nice "user friendly" error message, another option is to use pcall around everything you call from the love.load, love.draw, love.update etc. functions. Then you can catch the errors and do with them whatever you want to.

Perfect, thanks Zilarrezko!

Germanunkol, that's not a bad idea. You could conceivably have a few options for the user, like restart game at last save, send in report, or even have a secret hidden minigame that you can only access when your game crashes!

Exactly.

Haha, I love the idea with the minigame

Better patent it before someone else does or you'll be unable to do it for the next 20 years.

I'm assuming you're pointing at nobody in particular (*cough* *cough* Namco and loading games *cough* *cough*).
