Need help starting with Love and Lua
If I’m using the wrong tag sorry, lmk
I recently finished CS50 introduction to python and am moving onto CS50x and CS50 2D Game Design, just started the first lecture for 2D and the professor talked about using the engine Löve and the language Lua, neither of which I was familiar with. I wanted to get them going immediately because I just figured it’d be easier to take notes with actual code and comments.
Anyways, I downloaded Löve no problem, it seems a bit different than engines I’ve used in the past (I have limited experience with Godot, Unity, and Unreal, very limited truly) but I felt like I’d be fine so long as he explained how we were supposed to be loading programs into it.. he didn’t really. Just talked about using an extension to code in VSCode, okay, got that extension but VSCode is yelling at me about a debugger, so I got that too and it’s yelling at me about folders. I’m sure they’re not set up great, I have no idea what I’m doing, but.. shouldn’t it be able to load the file itself? Not doing anything crazy, literally just trying to make a window. I switched over to GitHub‘s codespace, I’m more familiar with that anyways, and I’m lost as to how that’s meant to access Love?
I’m truly hoping so bad I’m just being an idiot and missing something, I’m still a beginner so please excuse my ignorance, I just truly don’t know what to do but I really want to take this course and learn all I can! I found a YouTube tutorial for it and it seems way too involved, has to do with editing my computers environment variables? It also wasn’t explaining much, and I’m really getting lost with both Love’s and Lua’s documentation
Please if anyone can help I’d appreciate it endlessly
