Master Lua Programming and Create Amazing Games with LÖVE! (Udemy.com)

Great level of instructions in the first few lectures. My only suggestion would be to make sure to explain as much as possible when it comes to the difference between Mac and Windows. For example, there is no Alt on Mac, so some may not know the shortcut to run the game on Mac is Command + L. I'd also love to know what theme you are using in VS Code, and which Lua/Love2D extensions, so I can make sure I can match your semantic highlighting! But these are simple things to look up, so they aren't dealbreakers or anything. Loving the course so far as a fairly new programmer/developer coming from C# and Unity.

Amazing lecture, thanks so much for putting in the effort to make this, one little "ick" i have is sometimes you would tell us to write certain code without fully explaining it, for example i was really confused about iterating through tables and what the difference between "pairs" and "ipairs" are. But besides that, this was an amazing course and i really appreciate you helping people learn lua and game development! :)

I like the pacing of the lessons and how Kyle explains concepts. I have no background or experience in programming but this course was easy to follow for me. It helps a lot that the resources you need to follow along are readily accessible so you can stay focused on learning, and each lesson has additional challenges to enforce that learning. Referencing the LOVE 2D Wiki is great for explaining the concepts being taught and for helping students familiarize themselves with it, so they’re more comfortable using it and reading the documentation for their own projects in the future. This course is a good balance of holding your hand in the beginning and giving you space to fly on your wings at the end.

If you're at all curious about learning Love2D / LÖVE then you absolutely need to enroll in this course. It's relatively short - no filler here - and you'll quickly be writing code and seeing the results on screen. After the 2nd game you'll be well equipped to start writing your own games, but hold on. There's a 3rd game, a classic platfomer, that reinforces what you've already learned but adds some new techniques and discusses some additional tools and libraries that will further add to your game developer toolkit. After this course you'll be well on your way to writing your own games. I highly recommend this course.

This was a very well done course. The information was presented clearly in an easy to follow way. The instructor was easy to listen to and didn't use any annoying tunes at the beginning of his videos. He went through both the Lua language and game design topics thoroughly. He made a point of showing not only the main features of Love2D but also showed how to use a number of additional libraries and where to get them. I feel I will be able to make a simple game or two on my own now.

Great course covering a number of subjects. However, it would be more useful to have several real-world problems, challenges and practice exercises as steps in between projects. There are some currently, but the jump in complexity from project 2 to 3 is quite big, with you sometimes needing to just copy along with the instructor without truly understanding how the things he talks about work. Having said that, the principles of repetition still apply and you will absorb the concepts simply as you keep doing them. So, just more content and challenges along these lines would be great. Also amazingly useful (and definitely a WOULD BUY) for me would be a Lua Amazon Lumberyard course. WITH several challenges and exercises to test and continuously reinforce the player's skill and understanding of the concepts taught in the course.

This is an amazing course to do if you are new to Love2D or Lua in general. The content is well structured and cut down into short clips that will keep you attentive and eager to try the next task. Kyle makes so many concepts very easy to understand and you'll be able to apply this to future projects. As a software development student, I learned a great deal about game development. Would reccomend it to all my friends and colleagues.

I have used many other programming languages and have wanted to try Lua. So far I have seen some of the differences and all is being explained very well. It has been easy to follow and am just getting ready to start the first game lesson. Good job so far. Update: Really great course. I just completed it and am very impressed. I look forward to the updated course you will be uploading shortly. UPDATE (9/19/2020): I just finished the updated version of the course and it was as good or better that the original. Great Job Kyle. I love the update graphics and new methods used in the updated sections.

Thank you very much for taking the time to teach so clearly, today I am able to understand concepts that many consider basic in a more concrete way. Knowing the basics so clearly gave me a progression and now I can understand other things better, even started my project where I am trying to create a rpg on love2d. I don't know if u will read my message but here is my suggestion Suggestion: Rpg tutorial only with .lua

I had done some LOVE2D stuff before but this course really helped me grasp some basics I thought I had to use outside Libraries for. If I could ask for just one thing, it would be challenge suggestions. Add sound. See if you can get a game over by falling off the platform. See if we can make the game not insta-restart when we game over. Just self-paced challenges to get us thinking with the new tools we learned. Thank you!
