Welcome to a brand new tutorial series that will teach game development from the very beginning. No prior programming experience is required. We will be learning the Lua programming language and then the Love game engine. By the end of the series, you should have learned everything you need to know to make your own 2D games.

Some links (will be covering this in more detail shortly dont worry) for those interested:

Lua -- http://www.lua.org/
Love -- https://love2d.org/

If you are interested in why I chose Lua/Love instead of C++, watch this video:

As mentioned in the video, I will be compiling together everything we discuss in this series (and much more) in a book that I hope will become the ultimate starting guide for game developers. It will be made available as I develop it to supporters on Patreon:
https://www.patreon.com/gamefromscratch?ty=h

Don't worry though, nothing will be exclusive to that book. All of the source code and assets used within this series will be made available on Gamefromscratch.com for everybody completely free. If you don't want to support GFS however, a huge thanks, it's aprpeciated!

So, let's begin!
