i dont know how to run mari0.
i have ubuntu 13.04.
i downloaded mari0-source.zip, and mari0-linux.zip. i extracted them into my folders in my pc.
i dont know what to do next.
i read the forum so i therefore tried to use the commands for the terminal, one by one:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bartbes/love-unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install love-unstable
i managed to get a blue ball icon on my panel. when my cursor is put on this, it appers "waiting to install". so i am not sure whether it is installed or not. when i clicked on it, it opens, but it says - NO GAME.
i could not understand the following advice from the forum: "either right-click->open with and then type in "love-unstable" in the command line or run "$ love-unstable [mario-file-name].love" in the folder you have extracted the love file into."
i tried to open the "mari0_1.6.love zip file with LOVE but there was no such application offered in the list of the applications.
i am not skilled in IT nor in linux nor in games, it is just for my son.
no game in LOVE; ubuntu 13.04

Ok, first you need either mari0-source.zip or mari0-linux.zip but not both. They basically contain the same things.
So, in your zip you have file named mari0.love . It's the game.
But to run it you need the game engine Löve 0.8.0 . These instructions were to install 0.9.0 . Mari0 don't work with 0.9.0, it just work with 0.8.0 .
First, remove the ppa (Which contains 0.9.0) by typing "sudo ppa-purge ppa:bartbes/love-unstable" then "sudo apt-get update".
To install Löve 0.8.0, just search "love" in the ubuntu software center, or type "sudo apt-get install love" in your terminal.
Then, once it's installed, double click on the mari0.love file you downloaded earlier. And the game should work.

thanks.i did the steps, but ubuntu software center contains only LOVE version 0.9.0. neither "sudo apt-get install love" installed the 0.8.0 version, only the 0.9.0 version. where could i get the correct version?

Have you removed the ppa?
Type "sudo ppa-purge ppa:bartbes/love-unstable" then "sudo apt-get update".
