Installing LÖVE
LÖVE works on desktops. You can install LÖVE by downloading the source and building the
binaries or downloading the prebuilt binaries. The source for LÖVE is hosted on bitbucket and can
be downloaded from https://bitbucket.org/rude/love . The prebuilt binaries for the appropriate
platform can be downloaded from https://love2d.org/#download .
Running LÖVE
Creating our first Hello world in LÖVE is similar to doing so in many other frameworks. We create a
folder—let's call it Love_01 —and then create a text file called main.lua with the following code inside it:
print statement from our code will be displayed to
main.lua file and run it again to
11-2 .
function love.draw()
love.graphics.print('Hello World!', 400, 300)
end
