Re: Okay LÖVE is really cool.

Does the runtime automatically include love? I don't see anything in the yml that install love. I've been meaning to look into building flatpaks but haven't had the chance. The version you are building has the copyrighted sprites I've removed. I do not recommend that. If you want to put it on flathub I would use my version.

I have not written a new game using the game engine. I have modified Marvellous Inc, Bytepath, Mari0 and Lady Bug which use the engine. If you want make a 2D game, it is a reasonable choice.

Okay LÖVE is really cool.

by Tim Keller

Per the post that Dennis made about his porting of Lady Bug using the LÖVE framework, I started looking at it. It's pretty damn cool and it looks like the barrier to entry to making simple games, etc. is really really low. I think it might be worth a talk.

Re: Lady Beetle

by Tim Keller

My wife had a Coleco vision and Lady bug was one of the games they had for that system. My MIL once commented that she knew this was why she shouldn't play video games, apparently she sent the kids off to school, decided to play some lady bug and then the kids were coming in the door, she'd played it for hours.

Lady Beetle

by Dennis Payne

I discovered a Love2D remake of Lady Bug. I've never played the arcade game but it looked interesting. It is a maze chase game like Pac-Man but you have these turntiles through out the maze that you can move to alter the maze. The remake was well done but used sprites taken from the arcade game. I replaced all the graphics with new creations. I also modified the game to support two player simultaneous.
