Generally it's done with a spritebatch and an atlas.

And those are tiling programs? Yes that is what I meant.

Do I make tiles that I then make into one big image and load that image into love to place it as a world object, or do I load the tiles into love and then use a world object to place them in position.

Then you can use something like Tiled to arrange those tiles into your level.
Then you use Cartographer or STI library to import those into LOVE.

Do I connect the image tiles before or after the game has started?

Hi, I am working on a small game that uses some pretty big levels. It's top down so when using the world as just a background image there is no need for collision. But what is the best way to create a world? Do I need to make tiles and load them in? How would I do that? Maybe some of you have experi...

I see. Well I think I know what to do now.

Well I would define messy as unoptimised and inefficent. Anyways, I guess I will have to look at both require and love.filesystem.

Thanks for the replies,

Wait so require is actually messy? Is there a better way to do this?

Hi all, I am new to coding with an engine and I'm currently trying to create a simple game with multiple files. I realise that love.filesystem and require statements should be used to do this, but I cannot for the life of me figure it out. Can somebody end my confusion? How do I link different files...
