LÖVE

Impressive, how far we are already in the future!

Step three meters back, to see the whole picture and listen. (But dont fall out of your windows.)

The first computers were wearing skirts and had well groomed hair. Mostly female secretarys, who were very good in calculation. (Over one hundred years ago)

The first mecanised computers stored their bits in switches and there was no programming language at all. You had to know the inner workings of the whole machine to make a program for it. (About one hundred years ago)

The next generation of computers had their memory stored magneticly in "ferrite cores" with copper wires (thin like hair) around them. I have seen it in a museum, this is a delicate piece of art! They needed many of them, to store some bytes.

Programs were stored in wheels of paper. More like a morse code, than a modern flash memory. Later came the storage in magnetic bands and much later came the hard disk, with 5 megabytes of (rotating disc, as big as a modern microwave oven) memory!

The assembler language was still far away!

Then came C into this world and Lua was still far away. (About 50 years ago)

Fortran ... C... C++, Delphi, Visual Basic, Python, ...

Lua ( 30 years ago)

And finally, Löve2D came into this world. (15 years ago)



Just magic!

Hopefully LÖVE 11.5 will be released soon, i.e. due to nasty bug appearently in 11.4 within luajit, which caused rather nasty havoc for me running in circles to understand why impossible things where happening in app.

Just pretty please (sure I can cover my case by compiling binary myself, but...)
