Love Loader
Custom menu for selecting game from multiple for Love2D.
How it works?
If simple: just place games in games folder with structure like games/yourgame/main.lua
If technically: creates local variables functions and variables. Creates the loop until game wasn't selected with manual event handling and redrawing.
Things left or API
We are not keep environment super clear (except local variables ;)) so there are some variables can be used in game:
W and H variables: width and height of the screen, controlled by love.resize function.
love.resize and optional resize payload: functions called when screen size when changed and at boot.
love.event.quit: function to quit to menu screen
COLDIV: color divider (1 or 255) to setColor function
llUsed: is Love Loader used
llHome: function to quit to menu screen
They also can be used without Love Loader if load ll-min.lua
Fill game information
To fill game information in game folder need to create info.ll file.
Syntax is k = v with # comments
# are there needed any comments?
name = New awesome game using Love Loader
desc = Some descripion about the game.
# main = optional main file instead of `main.lua`
pic = screen.png
pics = [ screen.png; screen2.png ] # wow array
