LÖVR Reviews and Details

Is LÖVR good?

Social recommendations and mentions

• The Rise of Hybrid PHP: Blending PHP with Go and Rust

  I recognize it as a more or less universal optimization process. Everything important ends up in silicon, if it remains important long enough. And there are several stages of that. Like you, a part of me years for SGML and The Semantic Web, and where it makes sense in Alumina I am using RESTish APIs. But I do not pine for Javascript. Language or frameworks. 20 years has been enough. And I do not believe that... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Claude Sonnet Will Ship in Xcode

  Yeah, my experience with LÖVR [0] and LLM (ChatGPT) has been quite horrible. Since it's very niche and quite recently quite a big API change has happened, which I guess the model wasn't trained on. So it's kind of useless for that purpose. --- [0]: https://lovr.org. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Using Cursor, Zed, ChatGPT 4.1 and Lua LOVE 2D game engine for game development

  It's designed for 2D but there are libraries which add 3D rendering, e.g. Menori (https://github.com/rozenmad/Menori) Alternatively, the LÖVR framework - https://lovr.org/ - is heavily inspired by LÖVE, but is aimed towards making VR games (but can also be used as a regular 3D game engine). - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Building Game Prototypes with LÖVE

  If you are looking to do VR/3d games, LÖVR (https://lovr.org/) is derived from LÖVE. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• LuaJIT PR: Add Support for RISC-V 64

  It's used in LÖVE [0] (and LÖVR [1] as well, I think) for this very reason. The Lua code for a game will be quite performant. --- [0]: https://love2d.org [1]: https://lovr.org. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• LÖVE: a framework to make 2D games in Lua

  Also do not forget the VR/3D version, LÖVR: https://lovr.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Favorite Game Engine?

  I haven't used many engines, but I've been programming some simple games with LÖVE [0] and (to a lesser extent) LÖVR [1] and like them both. But maybe not real game engines, as you need to do quite a bit of work by yourself. I guess it depends what your definition is of a game engine. --- [0]: https://love2d.org [1]: https://lovr.org. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Is it really bad using an unpopular framework?

  Not to mention there's LÖVR as well if you want to 3D. Source: about 3 years ago

• Is it okay to ask a question about Lovr here?

  As for your question - yes, it's possible to develop for the Quest. The website has information on how to do that. Source: over 3 years ago

• Lua, a Misunderstood Language

  I'll add LOVR (https://lovr.org/), the 3D analog to LOVE. Haven't used it personally so ymmv. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• I love Python, but I ought to branch out. I've done some stuff in C# and Java, but never as much as I've done in Python.

  If you are into VR, I'd try lovr.org. It allows you to build VR apps with just lua code. Source: over 3 years ago

• Ask HN: Anyone tried development using an Oculus?

  Personally I found LÖVR [0] easy to use, based on Lua. —— [0]: https://lovr.org/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 4 years ago

• What are your development tricks that you wish you knew from day 1 (WebXR, or otherwise)

  If you are a good coder, and don't want to use an engine, LÖVR might be an interesting project. It has an add on where you can do live coding in the headset. It is based on lua and is similar to love2d. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Trying to learn game development so I need to learn coding, am I learning wrong?

  C# is about as object-oriented as a programming language can get. The object-oriented paradigm is unintuitive and is easy for both beginners and experts to produce bad code in. If you're just starting out, I'd recommend working with a more procedural programming language such as Lua (LOVE2D, LÖVR, Defold). Once you've got that down, C# will be a bit easier to handle.

• Demoing Our Displays (SimulaVR)

  Try https://lovr.org/ for a really quick and painless way to quickly create a VR app. - Source: Hacker News / about 4 years ago

• is there an app like roblox studio so you can have parts acd code them with lua so they can move or something?

  Some options might be the voxel game engine Minetest and the VR-focused general-purpose 3D game engine LÖVR. Source: over 4 years ago

• The HTTP of the Metaverse

  Haven't had a chance to play with it but it seems other people like it! [0] https://lovr.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago

• Can you give some advice to became a VRDeveloper ?

  If you are looking for rapid prototyping and don't mind learning/working with Lua, give LOVR (lovr.org) a try, they have an awesome community. Source: over 4 years ago

• Are there any good 3D Lua game engines?

  I haven't used it but https://lovr.org/ looks real good. Source: over 4 years ago

• Noob question.

  Another option I learned about the other day is lovr. It is just like love2d except for 3d. Source: almost 5 years ago

• Replimat - a reusable Open Hardware building system which requires only a few tools, is compatible with other building systems, and makes more of itself

  I've heard of it, but am not otherwise familiar. I see it's a free download, I'll give it a try! Thanks for the heads up - always interested in new CAD and machine control tech. I've recently begun porting the CAD library to https://lovr.org/ which is really fun! Source: almost 5 years ago
