LÖVE is an *awesome* framework you can use to make 2D games in Lua. It's free, open-source, and works on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Android, and iOS.

Documentation
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
We use our [wiki][wiki] for documentation.
|
|
If you need further help, feel free to ask on our [forums][forums], our [Discord server][discord], or our IRC channel [#love on OFTC][irc].
|
|
|
|
Compilation
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
Follow the instructions at the [megasource][megasource] repository page.
|
|
|
|
### *nix
|
|
Run `platform/unix/automagic` from the repository root, then run ./configure and make.
|
|
|
|
$ platform/unix/automagic
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
When using a source release, automagic has already been run, and the first step can be skipped.
|
|
|
|
### macOS
|
|
Download the required frameworks from [here][dependencies] and place them in `/Library/Frameworks/`.
|
|
|
|
Then use the Xcode project found at `platform/xcode/love.xcodeproj` to build the `love-macosx` target.
|
|
|
|
### iOS
|
|
Download the `ios-libraries` zip file corresponding to the LÖVE version being used from [here][dependencies-ios],
|
|
unzip it, and place the `include` and `libraries` subfolders into LÖVE's `platform/xcode/ios` folder.
|
|
|
|
Then use the Xcode project found at `platform/xcode/love.xcodeproj` to build the `love-ios` target.
|
|
|
|
See `readme-iOS.rtf` for more information.
|
|
|
|
### Android
|
|
Visit the [Android build repository][android-repository] for build instructions.
|
|
|
|
Repository information
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
We use the 'default' branch for development, and therefore it should not be considered stable.
|
|
Also used is the 'minor' branch, which is used for features in the next minor version and it is
|
|
not our development target (which would be the next revision - version numbers are formatted major.minor.revision.)
|
|
|
|
We tag all our releases (since we started using mercurial), and have binary downloads available for them.
|
|
|
|
Experimental changes are developed in the separate [love-experiments][love-experiments] repository.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

For code contributions, pull requests and patches are welcome. Be sure to read the [source code style guide][codestyle].
