Top 23 Love2d Open-Source Projects

  • love

    LÖVE is an awesome 2D game framework for Lua.

    • Project mention: Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-17

    I've built a few games with my son over the years. The fun part for us was all about fast iteration, and then laughing at the bugs together.

    There are some other recommendations here for how to approach 3d, and he is specifically asking for 3d -- but I want to put in one more pitch for 2d: the fun-to-tedium ratio can be much higher.

    I wonder if you could spend some time prototyping some of his ideas in LÖVE https://love2d.org/ -- if you show him the smallest sketch of something working, he might have an idea about what to add next.

    Many years ago, on a flight, we went from 0 to game before we landed (with no experience).

  • awesome-love2d

    • Project mention: what should I use to create games in lua? raylib vs love 2d | /r/raylib | 2023-06-11

    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.

    • Project mention: Releasing a game on Steam | /r/gamedev | 2023-12-06

    One thing that really helped me is looking at the source code and assets of one game that I really enjoyed -- SNKRX, the creator of the game, a327ex, put everything on Github so you can take a look how a finished game looks: https://github.com/a327ex/SNKRX/. The repo even includes the various images needed for Steam, this was very nice so I could make sure some of the assets I made aren't unfit for their purpose: https://github.com/a327ex/SNKRX/tree/master/assets/media . There are also some Photoshop files provided on the Steamworks FAQ which are very useful too, but they mainly show just in which area of the image you shouldn't put important text etc.

  • picolove

    PICO-8 Reimplementation in Love2D. Chat: https://discord.gg/jGEMUse6RM

    • Project mention: Pico 8 in other software | /r/pico8 | 2023-12-06

    Picolove, written in lua for love2d: a very good starting point, especially if the engine you're using has support for lua. Has been used for "expanded" versions of games, because it's very easy to modify the resolution of the display and things like that. Works for simpler carts like Celeste, but is not memory accurate!
