LÖVE and Lua
LÖVE is a framework for making 2D games in the Lua programming language. It is free, open-source, and works on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. LÖVE is well-suited for making games, simulations, and interactive art.
I've been using Love since 2020. In recent years, I've gravitated to using Lua for general-purpose programming as well.
In the last few months I've started exploring graphics for games and simulations more deeply. I've been working through several books and tutorials and have been creating my own projects as well. I've replicated quite a few of "The Coding Train" youtube channel's projects in LÖVE. And now this bunch of projects is now starting to take shape as a body of work.
In this webpage I'll be sharing my projects, tutorials, and notes on LÖVE and Lua programming. This is a work in progress and I'll be adding more content as I go along.
