LÖVE Launcher

Launches a LÖVE process for the current project.

Usage

1. Open a Project Folder (File > Open Folder)
2. Open a file (e.g. main.lua)
3. Press ALT + L. Alternatively, open the Command Palette and find Love Launcher: Launch.

Settings

LÖVE PATH: The location of the LÖVE binary on disk. The default is C:\Program Files (x86)\LOVE\love.exe. This respects the PATH environment variable. That means that if you're on Linux and have installed LÖVE via a package manager then you can change LÖVE PATH to be love.

LÖVE Options: The command-line options given to the LÖVE process. For example, this is where you can specify --console on Windows to launch a debug console.

LÖVE Main.lua Path: The subdirectory of the current project that contains main.lua. If not set then it's assumed to be in the current project's root.

Save On Launch: When on, all files will be saved when launching LÖVE. This is off by default.

Debug/print() Output

On Windows, add --console to the LÖVE Options setting. This will spawn a separate console window. Alternatively, in v0.10.2+, modify LÖVE PATH to run lovec.exe (instead of love.exe).

On Linux, all print() statements will go to the Atom Developer Console (View > Developer > Toggle Developer Tools) but only if the following is run (e.g. in love.load()):

io.stdout:setvbuf("no")

If something goes wrong with LÖVE launcher the error will be in the Developer Console. All bug reports are welcome!
