LOVE2D Overview
LÖVE (also written Love2D) is a free, open-source framework for making 2D games using the Lua programming language, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It provides modules for graphics, audio, input, physics (via Box2D), and windowing, and you write your game in Lua, which is small and easy to learn. LÖVE focuses on being a lightweight, code-first framework rather than a full editor, which appeals to programmers who want direct control and fast iteration. Games are run by pointing LÖVE at a project folder, and they can be packaged for distribution. The download is a small self-contained runtime that installs without a network connection. A large body of community modules and tutorials supports newcomers, and the same packaged.love file runs anywhere the runtime is installed, which simplifies sharing builds.
