Sound

RUNNING GAMES

In Windows or other graphical enviroments, just drag the directory (or archive) you want to run onto the executable. (~^-^)~

In a console, type "love" followed by the relative or absolute path to a directory (or archive).

Examples:

* love mygame.love
* love /home/hax/ultragame

Remember that what you are trying to run at least should contain the file "main.lua".
