[solved] Pointless question: why "t"?

[T-Bone]

Something I've never understood but never bothered to find out: in https://love2d.org/wiki/Config_Files, the argument to love.conf is "t". Why "t"? Is it short for something? Just wondering

I'd say "game" or something like that would make more sense. Not that it really matters.

[Jasoco]

I've wondered this myself. Does it matter if it's a t? Is t significant? Or is it just arbitrary?

[Ragzouken]

I assumed it was short for table.

That.

Note that in your own games, you can name it whatever you want: game, cool_coolcoolcool, theargumenttoloveconfthatpointstotheconfigurationtable, ...

Also interesting: in boot.lua, the same table is called c (presumably for "configuration").
