LÖVE is a Lua-based, open-source framework for 2D game development, known for its simplicity and cross-platform support. It provides APIs for graphics, audio, and input, enabling rapid prototyping of platformers, puzzles, or retro games. LÖVE supports Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, with a lightweight design for performance. Without a built-in editor, it relies on external IDEs, but hot-reload speeds up iteration. Community libraries extend functionality for physics or networking. LÖVE powers games like Move or Die, appealing to hobbyists and indie developers. Its minimalistic approach suits small projects, though it lacks 3D capabilities. Extensive documentation and forums ensure accessibility for beginners.
