#2I always enjoy seeing projects done in Love2D; it's such a great little game engine!

#3I've never heard of Lua, but now that I am looking at it, it seems very friendly. Love how they call things what they are, for example `local` is just a local variable, or `repeat X until Y` for a loop. It's a joy to see, to be honest.

#4Very cool. Thanks for doing something like this. I'm curious about making indie games and love the idea of being able to understand a finished project that I can analyze to understand things better.

#5I'm gonna dig into this also. Thanks for your contribution to the gaming community.

Check out (the now unfortunately named) CoronaSDK from (the also unfortunately named) Corona Labs. It's all Lua based and is now entirely MIT open sourced.
One of the easiest to code cross platform development languages there is.

#8For those interested, a very quick and easy way to start making games in Lua is with Roblox Studio.

It’s unfortunate that Lua makes some strange decisions, but the powerful functionality totally outweighs the weirdness (metatables are especially cool). I really like Lua, especially for game programming with LÖVE.

I’d argue that LÖVE is more appropriate for most games and similarly approachable. That said, lots of people already play Roblox, so it’s a good option for people who want to go from being consumers to being creators.
