This is pretty grand news, and I never used Lua for game development. Congratulations.

I would love to tinker with LÖVE, but I don't know the first thing about Lua. Anyone have pointers to good introductory resources they can share?

You can pretty much learn the language in 1 - 2 days if you are an experienced programmer. Try the LUA website, they have some links to good tutorials.

What is LÖVE?

It is a 2D game development framework for the Lua language.

How does LÖVE compare with Corona SDK, a commercial Lua-based mobile framework?

How's the performance compared to say Cocos2d-X in C++? For say something like large scale steering forces and Behavior agents?
