Love 0.7 docs WIP

[bartbes]

It would be a mode that would be returned by getMode, and it is indeed in the same string-to-enum map used by open, but why should we create a separate one, if it currently just ignores it if it's set to close mode?

[pekka]

API design is UI design, and poorly designed user interfaces allow you to do nonsensical operations for no good reason. This is a minor example of just such a case. It would cost practically nothing to just raise an error when a file is being opened in closed mode, whatever the heck that even means.

EDIT: portions redacted.

[bartbes]

You aren't getting it, "opening in closed mode" doesn't do anything, why would an error improve that?!

[kikito]

I think I'm with pekka on this one.

If it doesn't do anything, it should throw an error. Just like it would (I hope) if one did something like myFile:open("1234").

As this is something that the lover should have done right in the first place (it is an error or the part of the programmer, not the user), I agree to pekka and kikito. UNLESS "c" mode has some special reason for existing that I don't know about.

[pekka]

This concludes my interest in contributing to the Löve on-line docs. I'm really just wasting my time here.

[bartbes]

Wait, why?

[pekka]

Because I am writing a reference document for my own off-line use, and I see no value in adding anything to the Wiki.

[bartbes]

Because everything you are writing down is already there? Or is there some other reason?

[Kain]

Because there's no sensible reason to freely give something to benefit a community; especially so if this thing is already created and usable.
