# Löve2D Lisp Experiments

This repo is my personal experiments in game dev with lisp. The games are written in
[Fennel](https://fennel-lang.org/) and use the [Löve 2D](https://www.love2d.org/) game engine.
Scripts for game data are wrtten in Clojure via [Babashka](https://babashka.org/). I use 2D pixel
tool [Aseprite](https://www.aseprite.org/) for painting and then [Tiled](https://thorbjorn.itch.io/tiled)
to create maps out of the sprites.

## Dev

### Init

Follow steps at [here](https://love2d.org/wiki/Getting_Started)
to download, install, and add Love 2d to path.

Once done games can be started with `love ./game_dir`

### Dir setup

Fennel setup copied from [~benthor/absolutely-minimal-love2d-fennel](https://git.sr.ht/~benthor/absolutely-minimal-love2d-fennel/tree/master/item/README.md).
Since fennel.lua and main.lua are the same for each game/project I put them on root level and soft linked to them
in the project folders.
