A framework for making 2D DOS games in Lua. LoveDOS provides an API based on asubset of theLÖVE API.

You can download LoveDOS from thereleases page. If you're notusing DOS as your operating system thenDOSbox can beused to emulate a DOS computer.

When you runlove.exe it will expect its first argument to be your game'sdirectory. The filemain.lua will then be searched for and executed. If, forexample, your project was in a directory namedmygame you would run thefollowing:

love mygame

A small example program which displays white text on a black background andexits when theescape key is pressed is as follows:

functionlove.draw()love.graphics.print('Hello World!',20,20)endfunctionlove.keypressed(key)ifkey=="escape"thenlove.event.quit()endend
