For beginner and experienced programmers alike, one of the best tools to learn game development with is L VE (also known as Love2D), an open–source game engine that allows users to write the logic of their games in Lua, an easy to pick up scripting language. These hidden gems of the development industry are perfect for learning the basic concepts, as well as applying them to create full–scale applications.
This course is a project–based approach to understanding the basics of programming and its role in game development. The lectures assume no prior technical knowledge, and whether or not you have programmed before, there is content in this course that can be utilized by anyone. Together, we will create three separate games, each one growing in difficulty, and in doing so, we will gain a strong familiarity with programming video games. After learning the core functionality of what L VE has to offer, you will be ready to apply this knowledge into creating your very own games.
The course begins with several lectures discussing the basics of programming with Lua, specifically covering:
Variables
Conditional Statements
Loops
Functions
Comments
Local vs Global
Tables
These concepts are common throughout most programming languages, so the information covered in this section can be applied beyond the scope of this course. To add to this, if you already have a background in programming, there will be a syntax recap that will quickly discuss how to perform each of these actions in Lua specifically, so there is no need to watch every lecture if you already have some related experience, but haven’t worked with Lua before.

Great explanation, pacing feels good for what is being explained. Encouraging clean coding habits for better debugging for inevitable typos and errors.
Geoff Peterson –
The base concepts are explained quite well to give you a good starting place for Lua and LOVE2d.
Jacob Hilt –
This course gets straight to it. I love that it starts with functional games not just a text based game in the console.

between section 1: 3 and 4 there is a clear jump, where did all the icons come from to the left of the play button?

Excellent course! Even I already know Lua, this course gave a clear view of Love2d. It shows me how to do a Lua project properly and took me to see some useful library. Hopefully instructor can maintain it in future, give some good resources such like useful library that people may interested or could get help from onto Udemy. Thanks a lot.
