The oldest OpenGL 2.1-capable desktop GPUs are (roughly) the nvidia GeForce 6000 series from 2004, the ATI Radeon 9000 series from 2003, and the Intel GMA X or Intel HD series from 2007 or 2010 (depending on the graphics driver).

What do you mean "requirements"? Hardware, software? To run what, a "hello world"?

=D. I have never laughed so hard in my life.

But seriously, I wasn't able to run Love2D application on videocard with OpenGL 2.0 or lower.

Question's probably about opengl version, that's the only thing i can think of, since anything else i can think of (memory, processor usage) highly depends on what and how efficient you code it...
and yes, it would be nice if the wiki had such info; i thought it was OGL 1.3 minimum but maybe that's the GLSL version... i don't know.

Cool, now lets ask slime on discord or here whether we can add this info somewhere on the more visible pages of the wiki. maybe with the versioning table, since ogl requirements iirc changed with a few versions.

A fricking lot of IF statements and For loops.

Worth noting to the quoted post above is that Windows XP is no longer officially supported since 11.0 (see "Other changes").

Yeah, the requirement for that is you need a computer with a processor and not a vegetable or a wooden chair... :monocle:

An intel 8080 can execute ifs and fors just as well as an intel skylake i7-6700K, the only significant difference (besides the architectural like branch predictions and # of cores) is that whereas the latter can do approximately 4 000 000 000 cycles (not instructions) per second (per core), the former can do only 2 000 000, or naively, there's a 2000x difference between them in speed, and 41 years in terms of when they were first released.

That said, other libs that Löve itself uses may pose a smidge stricter restrictions on hardware elements, but usually, a computer up to the last decade should suffice. As i said before though, things like what you mentioned depend heavily on you, the developer, to write code that's not sub-par in terms of efficiency. (where it's possible to do so.)
