Perhaps this tutorial by sheepolution can get you started? It should help you learn and understand lua and löve.

For any programming language, there are always three resources to read.

1. Language reference manual. LÖVE uses Lua 5.1. This tells you all the language keywords and features.

2. Standard library. A collection of universally useful functions included in the language itself. For Lua, these are listed in the language reference manual above, here. Additionally, LÖVE uses a flavor of Lua called LuaJIT, which includes some additional libraries, detailed here.

3. Your chosen framework/middleware/library, in this case LÖVE. All the functions provided are described on the wiki, by category.

Additionally there are both Lua and LÖVE tutorials on the web, which you can find on any search engine like Google.

Finally, as is the case right here, a helpful community will assist you along the way.

You can use opengl, but you only need lua. The functions inside love2d(like love.graphics.draw) aren't coded in lua but in c++, then their made to work in lua to make it faster. Once you know about tables in lua, you're fine(tho there's still functions and logic and whatnot )

Sheepollution is where you start. Have the wiki handy.

It seems that, truly, we all started at sheep pollution.

Firstly I would like to thank everyone...sheep pollution here i come...

I actually dusted with 'Getting started' and configuring Notepad,++ but yeah, Sheep has Little bit of everything.
