• what should I use to create games in lua? raylib vs love 2d
  1 project | /r/raylib | 11 Jun 2023

  I tried both and honestly the experience with love is better because it's actually made for lua. There's a vscode extension for love, a ton of lua libraries etc.

• Beginner question: is there any coding standard for documenting Lua functions or tables emulating OOP?
  4 projects | /r/lua | 1 Jun 2023

  For OOP, look into metatables. I got started with Lua through Love2D and through that I found some OOP modules that are pretty helpful. Here’s a full list of them: https://github.com/love2d-community/awesome-love2d (I’ve been using classic with my projects)

• What are the first game engines/frameworks that come to mind when you hear "code only?"
  2 projects | /r/gamedev | 16 May 2023

  Such a great Lua gamedev framework! And there's lots of libraries in GitHub. Many collected on awesome-love2d so you don't have to build everything yourself.

• ECS engine in C++ in Lua
  5 projects | /r/gamedev | 2 May 2023

  love2d is open source and runs on PC and phones. Someone's even ported it to Nintendo3DS/Switch homebrew. nata is the ECS I use, but you can also checkout more libraries on awesome-love2d. I really enjoy using love2d (especially if you enjoy the engine building parts), but one caveat is that major version number bumps will break compatibility. It's usually easy to port and they deprecate functions long in advance. But there's lots of old libraries out there for older versions that won't just work on the latest love2d (like the code for Harvard's CS50 course).

• Can one make a Stardew Valley clone with Love2D?

  I've used tiny ECS a bit, and I like it a lot. Check out this list

• Love2D vs Solar2D

• How to make apps for mobile?
  1 project | /r/love2d | 12 Aug 2022

  It depends on what you want to display that will dictate the limitations on how you can adjust to different resolutions. There are probably libraries that can help you with this.

• how would u do this
  1 project | /r/love2d | 18 Jul 2022

  Once you've done a few tutorials, you can start doing your own thing. Use the LÖVE Wiki (first link) to your advantage. It has the whole love API documented, and you'll probably need to have it open while you work. At this point, you can also look at this GitHub repository for a list of cool libraries that work with LÖVE.
