A Simple MoonScript Setup for LÖVE

No configuration, no commands to run, no submodules, no baloney.

This project is set up for LÖVE 11.5 "Mysterious Mysteries."

Inside lib/ you will find LuLPeg and a single-file splat of MoonScript, along with a love.errorhandler implementation that uses MoonScript's error rewriting.

The main.lua loads this error handler and game.moon, which holds an example implementation of "Pickin' Sticks", a simple example game created by Moosadee years ago (see: https://youtu.be/PYrS54WH96Q)

Note: If you want to distribute your game as a .love ZIP file, moonloader will not work because LÖVE relies on a custom Lua loader for zipped code files. You will need to compile your MoonScript using moonc before compressing.

Can also be found on GitHub.

NOTE: LuLPeg is not a 1:1 replacement for LPeg and this did cause some issues with basic MoonScript language features. It has been replaced with native LPeg for Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, and for x64 Windows.
