X11 app on Windows

by Zori Babroudi

Last meeting I mentioned that I was using WSL + an X11 app to develop on windows. Here is the X11 app I use. https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9NLP712ZMN9Q It lets me easily run gnome-terminal and other apps remotely. [image: image.png] <Z>

Re: Okay LÖVE is really cool.

Godot engine is very good. I have created new games with that one. I did Pinball Disc Room and Learning Basic on Mars in it. It does do 3D unlike Love but I haven't played with that yet. I don't recommend writing a game engine if you want to make a game just use Godot. Granted even though I recommend it, I have created my own engine for a game even after playing with Godot.

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.
