About LÖVE

LÖVE, commonly called Love2D, is a free, open-source framework for creating 2D games in Lua. It offers a compact programming model for drawing sprites and shapes, playing audio, reading input, using physics, loading assets, managing files, and building custom game loops.

Its small runtime and approachable examples make it useful for game jams, prototypes, programming education, pixel-art games, and developers who prefer a code-first workflow. Official packages are available for Windows and macOS, with Linux, Android, and iOS options documented by the project.

The zlib/libpng license permits commercial use without engine royalties. NeonRoof points to official downloads and documentation and does not bundle third-party game code or assets with the framework listing.
