I’ve been wanting to get into game programming and was looking at Love2D. I don’t know much Lua outside of what I’ve picked up with NeoVim configs.

This looks like it could be a great way to get my feet wet - I don’t do well with math and physics programming, but I used to make things in Flash back in the day that were similar to the particles demo and being able to quickly change things and see the updates makes it a lot easier for me to grok. Thanks for sharing!

Do it! It's a lot of fun.

Highly recommend adding code definitions https://github.com/LuaCATS/love2d

And getting the lua LSP.

It reminds me a lot of processing / p5js. So easy to get something fun up and running quickly.
