Michael Kohl 🇦🇹🇹🇭<p>I got tired of setting up the project structure every time I wanted to start a little LÖVE experiment, so I made a tiny template repository on GitHub.

Garrett builds web sites<p>Still playing with the idea of building a game with Lua/Love and struggling with the lack of types. I've just become so used to using them that going back to not having them feels really awkward and sloppy. There are variants of Lua like Teal and Pluto that do give us types, but if there's a pleasant way to get them to play nice with Love, I'm not smart enough to figure it out yet.</p><p><a href="https://phpc.social/tags/lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lua</span></a> <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/love2d" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>love2d</span></a></p>

Ethin<p>It started as a project to learn <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Love2d" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Love2d</span></a> - a simple concept with a basic gameplay loop, and I could learn how to do multiple aspects of making a game in Love.</p>
