Just finished watching the whole thing, started as with 0 experience and now I feel like I`m confident enough to start making my own game, gonna be a challenge but one that I`d love to take! Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial, you sure helped me and many others learn how to walk through the steps of their dreams, and I`d like to wish a goodluck to everyone who is just starting to learn coding as well like me, please don`t give up!

Take care everyone and thanks again for the wonderful tutorial!

Have been making games in love2d for 2 years now. I love love 2d and I love the community. It is such an awesome way to learn programming. I would recommend love 2d to anyone who is starting out in programming. It is fun to use and simple.

[pedrogabrielnogueira]

Good video! The professor of my professor is Lua's creator.

[kkiller]

I paused it as soon as I saw how to draw things, made an entity component system, and then started fiddling with animations. Pretty easy stuff.

[dubaifatimaali]

I would love to learn LUA. I have heard about this but I would need lot of time for watching this tutorial. Thanks keep on posting. I learned to create my own game on Roblox and ofcourse I have students who take Roblox classes from me. Now I will learn this to I can add it to my list and teach them as well.

[harsh_jain]

Love2d is really simple and awesome if you really want to make a 2d game and not just use everything provided to you by some game engine.
I am the head of game development club of my college and we use it to teach game dev concepts along side with unity.

[LightDeveloperRU]

Thanks for these videos!! I really enjoyed coding in Lua for the first time!))

[chrono]

Quite good I've been waiting to see if I enjoy love 2d development as I like the simplicity of Lua; it is simple but powerful

[pi_dev]

i've been scripting on roblox for 4 years (it also uses lua) and i learned more in this video than i did in those past 4 years. awesome.

[FabledNarrative]

I don't program in Lua, but i love the Lua language. :D

[-Bit_Dragon]

For RTS gamers, look into spring games like Zero-K which uses Lua.
