Games fail to start on OS X 10.9 Mavericks

On the just-released OS X 10.9 Mavericks, Not Tetris 2 and Not Pacman at least completely fail to launch, displaying instead a window titled "LOVE 0.7.2 (Game Slave)" and an animated image that looks like this:

The games worked fine on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion prior to upgrading.

That happens probably because you're using the version 0.7.0 instead of 0.7.2.
Just go to LOVE forums and download the current version.
And welcome to the forums! We hope you stay in!

No, I'm using the pre-compiled OS X binaries available on your web site, which include love 0.7.2. The screenshot above is from the love website and clearly from Windows, not from my OS X system, but it shows the same image I see.

Yeah, the problem is that 0.7.2 don't work on maverick.
slime posted a version of 0.8.0 that work with maverick, but it's 0.8.0 so it don't work.
Maybe someone should start a 0.9.0 port of not tetris 2.

As for not pacman, you're in luck because I made a 0.8.0 version of the game!
Slime's OSX 10.9 version of love 0.8.0 : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/421 ... -fixed.zip
My 0.8.0 version of not pacman : https://www.dropbox.com/s/slrmy9651n0ki ... an080.love
Run the second with the first and it should work

@ automatic I tried what u suggested and i did not work.

after the update i can launch not tetris, mari0, and ortho robot once but not as second time. I just get the love game slave window. i tried using love and the not tetris sours code but that didn't work either

After several days of work with the developers of love, I've managed to get the latest love 0.9.0 compiling and running on OS X 10.9. I'll be making it available in MacPorts soon.

I am now working on porting Not Tetris 2 to work with love 0.9.0.

I abandoned my attempt to port Not Tetris 2 to newer versions of LÖVE (there are other attempts in the Not Tetris 2 GitHub repository), but I did finally add Not Tetris 2 and your other favorite Stabyourself.net games to MacPorts—only ten years late! You can browse all LÖVE games in MacPorts here.
