LOVE 2D VS Vvvv

I've built a few games with my son over the years. The fun part for us was all about fast iteration, and then laughing at the bugs together. There are some other recommendations here for how to approach 3d, and he is specifically asking for 3d -- but I want to put in one more pitch for 2d: the fun-to-tedium ratio can be much higher. I wonder if you could spend some time prototyping some of his ideas in LÖVE... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

* When a cell is born it randomly takes on the color of one of its (3) parents. To try it out: 1. Install LÖVE for your device from https://love2d.org (~5MB and open source). (iOS requires building from source on a Mac, or installing the third-party Love2D Studio: https://love2d-studio.marknoteapp.com) 2. Install my Lua Carousel from https://akkartik.itch.io/carousel (~100KB). It includes all its source code and... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

Lua is well known around developer circles as being a good scripting language when it comes to making games, and this engine is one of the more popular. I'll be going through installation at the end of this post. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

I got it – these are the steps I took: 1. Download Love from https://love2d.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

LibGDX is great, but I can understand if it's not for some people. This also applies to love2d, raylib and Monogame. Source: 5 months ago

Never heard of it but this vaguely reminds me of labview (still widely used in factory infrastructure and R&D) another similar environment that 20 years ago I thought would become the new desktop/programming metaphor is vvvv[0] [0] https://vvvv.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

There's things like https://vvvv.org/ - if you'd use the 3D engine there you could probably build something like this:. Source: over 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure "node based" doesn't refer to node.js in this context. Many compositing software have a node based interface, that is, nodes with inputs and outputs in a graph (examples: Nuke, vvvv, Blender). Source: over 1 year ago

Vvvv I stumbled on a while back not going to lie I still have no idea what im even doing using this , but downloading user made projects is pretty cool though. Source: almost 2 years ago

Vvvv not open source but has a free version: https://vvvv.org/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
