I've been looking around and I can't find it (maybe it doesn't even exist), wasn't there a mod that added special collectable coins that saved on the main menu or something?

So, I want to get off my ass and learn LOVE. I figured if I'm going to do something over the summer, might as well be something I want to do.
Is there anywhere I should start?

[Automatik]

First, you can try to learn lua here : http://tylerneylon.com/a/learn-lua/ (It's intended for programmers.)
Then look at the löve wiki, read some examples, then try to do some simple games like pong.
You can also try to mod Mari0 to learn.

[Qcode]

Before learning how to use love you should learn how to code in Lua.
Best way of doing that is reading the Programming in Lua book from online: http://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html#P1
I'd recommend reading from chapter 2 until about chapter 8. That's what you're going to be using the most. It would also help to read chapters 18, 19, and 20.
While you're reading along it's a good idea to test Lua with the online demo. Just make a few little test programs that correlate to what you're reading about.
Once you've done that and you've got a good grip of Lua you should head over to the love wiki.
At the love wiki I'd recommend reading first about the Callback Functions. Then read the Hamster Ball tutorial to give yourself a bit of insight on how a love program works.
That should be a good amount of what you need to know. Before you start something big, you should make a TON of tests. Just seeing what you can do, experimenting around with different stuff. Also don't be afraid to read other people's code. That'll help you learn a lot too.
If you ever need any help with anything, you can contact me and I'll do my best to help. :)

Double post but whatever because new topic.

It looks stealthy. Really stealthy.

I absolutely love it.

There is a great a youtube channel.

Start from the beginning, and work your way up.
It is a great way to learn.

[Mari0Maker]

This is probably the most random thing I've seen on my computer.

[Qwerbey]

So... I'm making a level for VVVVVV.

[Costinteo]

So... I made a drawing with the pencils I just got from the store.

Professional drawing pencils. You won't believe how much I wanted those pencils. I never got around to buying them, because I always forget about it.
But now I have them and they're absolutely amaaaazing. :D

Just thought I'd share that.

Also, I didn't know VVVVVV had a level editor. Or is it somekind of a side program? (never played the full game)

[Qwerbey]

It's built in. (Caution: Huge Image)

[Automatik]

Ah, yeah, VVVVVV.I used to do an huge level in it. I'll see if I can find it.
Edit: Dammit, I lost it :( It was a cool level with internal scripting and stuff like that.

[maidenTREE]

So, I installed XP on VirtualBox, and it is plain.
I also installed 2000 and 95

[copy]

So, I decided to completely redo an old game project of mine on a completely different engine with some re-tweaked graphics/items. So far it's looking pretty good.

[BobTheLawyer]

If your avatar shows anything, then it is looking good!

[Automatik]

Can we have a screenshot? :)

[copy]

Well, the game isnt as colorful as my avatar is. But I can post one in about an hour or two.
EDIT:

So most of the things that I've been doing have to do with re-coding things, but this is just an example of the stat menu and equipment menu.

[Shadowlord]

Looks good Aveond. And today is my birthday!

[Costinteo]

I like it.

Happy birthday, Shadow!

[copy]

Happy birthday, O Lord of Shadow.

[BobTheLawyer]

Happy birthday, Shadow!

[Cake]

Herpy birtday.

[Sunset_Moth]

Um... happy birthday, also, look at my location, if you did not have a cat you do now, according to my location, which for some reason doesn't show. So I'll write it for you: "Location: Your house, because I am your cat."

[TurretBot]

it shows fine, on your profile...

Hey guys, I got Ubuntu 13.04 for VirtualBox. It's kinda awesome. The reason I had to install it in VirtualBox is because I don't have a spare computer.

Can you tell me a single person who cares ? Seriously, you talk all the time about things that you are doing. Why don't talk about something like a new game coming ?

[Mari0Maker]

Is there a way to create a .app file from a .love file on Windows?

You dont need to overwrite, you can just do dualboot, ya know?
Like i do. I have 12.04 and Windows7 dualbooted

Sun/innotek/Oracle Virtualbox is better than DualBoot

[Sakura1221]

Hi! I was planning on logging on on LF's account but he's logged out... so yeah.
I just wanted to pass by and just like say hi, because I left like what? two years ago, meh.

[Firaga]

>inb4 flood of 'welcome back' or 'hi' messages
Also, hi.

[TurretBot]

two years ago, meh.

This forum hasn't even been up for two years

[Camewel]

10 months. You were close.

[Firaga]

Dohohohoho.

[Camewel]

Half of one of the SMW moons would have worked too.

oh crap now this is going to turn into one of those jokes that gets old really fast

[Cake]

Just for the sake of it.
Isn't this a nice way to start off a new page.

[renhoek]

where's that quote about beating jokes into the ground?

[Camewel]

I always seem to start things that get beaten into the ground.
The obvious lesson is stop stealing my jokes you unoriginal sillies.

[TurretBot]

That wasn't funny...
Or maybe I just didn't realize the humor because I'm an idiot.

[Trist3D]

So I just stopped existing for a week.
What'd I miss?

[BobTheLawyer]

Wonder how long it'll be until ebay shuts this guy down:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-Compl ... 6d&vxp=mtr
$32.99 for the best iTouch out there.
The guy has never sold anything on ebay.
15 people have bought one within an hour from him.
He has over 10 left.
And people keep buying them...

Wow. I'm losing faith in humanity altogether, now.

[Flutter Skye]

I'm going to bump the Ace Attorney thread, because that game is way to awesome to be on page 3.
Also Hi Sakura.

[BobTheLawyer]

I've been hoping you'd come back. :D

Well that's ironic.
It's actually not I just wanted to confuse you.

[idiot9.0]

Yeah..... and? FlutterPie used to be a terrible poster who would spam stuff like that and made about 3 different accounts, but has since become a better member. So I don't see your point.
