Everyone try re-downloading v1.0.1-beta.

I tried re-download v1.0.1-beta and it finally work, but it said "Replace me in /game/main.lua" or something like that. What does it mean?

It's telling you where to put your code

That was a quick reply. I thought this program was port of Löve and said i could make programs, so i got a little confused, but thank you for telling me.

You announce a simple coding, but this seems difficult for you to produce a sample demonstration

It technically is a sample demonstration, but I will add a better one later.

Someone care to port Mari0 to the 3DS?

It was created using LÖVE, think it would be possible once this API is fully developed on the 3DS.

The source code is here if anyone wants to try (good luck)

As expected, almost none of those shaders can be ported. Even if you implemented shader LOVE support, the 3DS doesn't support pixel/frag shaders, only vertex and geometry shaders. The rest of it wouldn't be very hard, but would look terrible without shaders.

The shaders used in Mari0 are just extras, by default I believe there is no shaders turned on. I might be wrong about this but that's what it looks like based on the options inside the game.

Looks nice, thanks!

Hey, there's been a couple of changes since the last post here, so I thought I would bump the thread with them.
The changes include:

Proper Error Handling
When a Lua error occurs, LövePotion no longer crashes! Instead you will get a blue error screen telling you what went wrong.
The error handler can be overwritten, by replacing the love.errhand(msg) callback.

Example Code/No Game Screen
Now included is no game screen, which acts as an example on how to do things.

Various Small Things

• love.mouse.isDown()
• love.mouse.getX()
• love.mouse.getY()
• love.mouse.getPosition()
• love.graphics.printf()
• love.graphics.translate()

and more that I've forgotten.

I am also working currently working on love.audio, but I'm having trouble implementing it, so it will hopefully be in the next release or 2.

Also, my friend ported his Hackathon game to 3DS using LövePotion, which you can check out here.

You can download the latest release of LövePotion here.

Awww yeah. Sweet release!

I made a port of the LOVE2D game "Loophole" in LovePotion, which you can find here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-loophole-3ds-port.399585/

I'd be pretty cool if you could feature this on this post P

This is AWESOME!

Pretty sure this guy is right, I had a crappy computer and it ran fine until I tried to turn shaders on then I could hardly get it to run at all... so yeah

but would look terrible without shaders.

not sure how pixel art would look bad without shaders

How do I choose what screen I'm printing to with love.graphics.print?

 

[BlueOnClues]

Welp I Got A Whole Lot Of Learning Of C++ , Lua And etc.

Use love.graphics.setScreen() to set the current screen to draw to.
Either "top or "bottom" as the argument

So I've been trying to build this since yesterday, and it says " ft2build.h: no such file or directory
#include <ft2build.h>
^

some reason I can't compile it, and im guessing I would need "ft2build.h" in my libctru include folder for it to compile...... any help

Do you have the portlibs installed?
