LÖVE (Love2D) Core

Set up and debug the foundation of a LÖVE game in Lua: the callback loop, frame-rate- independent movement, input, and screen states. Targets LÖVE 11.5.

When to use

• Use when starting a LÖVE game, wiring up main.lua/conf.lua, or fixing the core loop, movement that runs at the wrong speed, input handling, or screen switching.
• Use when the workspace has main.lua calling love.*, a conf.lua, or a .love file.

When not to use: Lua language questions unrelated to LÖVE; physics bodies/joints (LÖVE uses Box2D via love.physics — a separate concern); shader code (love.graphics GLSL is its own topic). For cross-engine save/load patterns, use save-systems.
