How do I run the game?

[Tjk]

I'm on Ubuntu 11.10, and I installed love-unstable, version .80. But... What do I do now? How do I run mario_1.0.love? It just comes up as an archive. When I installed Love .72, I was able to load it in Love, but I was not able to play it.

I've run:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bartbes/love-unstable

sudo apt-get install love-unstable

sudo apt-get update


I can run love-unstable from terminal, but all I get is some piggy thing. How do I run the Mari0 file?


(Also, went into the main.lua file, "FOR SPECIFIC LICENSE (I know you linux users get a hard on when it comes to licenses)", nice :P)

Usually you can drag the source onto the love shortcut or the .exe/whatever it is. I'm unsure what the command is to do that via terminal on linux, but its a pretty easy to do... look around here: http://www.love2d.org

Navigate to the directory that the Mari0 source is in, and type "love-unstable mari0_1.0.love" and it should work.

Thanks, CommunistPancake, that worked. :)
