🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

LÖVE was created to be a user-friendly engine in which simple (or complicated) games could be made without having extensive knowledge of system or graphics functions and without having to dedicate time towards developing the same engine features time and time again.

like, the whole point was to save you from rewriting the same engine stuff over and over. it's lowkey a blessing. 💖

Developed with cross-platform implementation in mind, it utilizes the latest open source libraries to deliver a similar game experience, independent of operating system. By relying on the Lua scripting language for game-specific programming, it allows even the novice game creator to quickly and efficiently develop an idea into a fully working game.

so whether you're on one OS or another, the vibe stays consistent. and because it uses Lua for the game-specific programming, even a novice game creator can quickly and efficiently turn an idea into a fully working game. periodt. 🦋
