LÖVE Engine : Getting start Game Develop for Raspberry Pi

    Hi Guys, i bought Raspberry Pi 3 Model B since last 3 years but nothing to do with it bcoz almost my work rarely get in touch with Linux OS, however i fall in love with Technical Specialist and Game Development, i've enjoy when i've working in Game Industry and my own hobby, my childhood was fully with 2D Game, i even written how to get start Game Development with iOS and Android before that was my opportunities for Mobile Game. Now i've seen Raspberry Pi grow up a lot, Hi-End computer is not everything, Micro computer can teach you something and i went back to  LÖVE Engine that can create this awesome game, BLUE REVOLVER.

BLUE REVOLVER checkout on Steam

    See, any great stuff can be created from anywhere by your idea, i know that Raspberry Pi had Scratch Game Engine that easier and prettier for kids to learn programming similar to Construct Game Engine but not everyone suitable or like it on their own. Someone want powerfull Game Engine with fully coding not WYSIWYG tools.

    I don't written about how to install Raspberry Pi and NOOBS, i think official guide had awesome tutorial for it. Latest version of LÖVE Engine is not compatible for Raspberry Pi, then shall we start with pickup proper version by open this URL, the choose this version liked below image, download 3 of them.

    The red mark is suitable version for Raspberry Pi that having armhf architecture and Raspbian also included in NOOBS that's proper for it. PS* on this bitbucket you can download demos.zip to preview great sample after done setup LÖVE Engine.

    On Raspberry Pi, open Terminal and relocate to where you've downloaded LÖVE Engine. Then run this command step by step.

Installation
1. run sudo dpkg -i liblove0_0.10.2ppa1_armhf.deb and hit enter

2. run sudo dpkg -i liblove-dbg_0.10.2ppa1_armhf.deb and hit enter

3. run sudo dpkg -i love_0.10.2ppa1_armhf.deb and hit enter

**However above 3 commands may have occurs an error due to lack of dependency. the solution is follow this command to resolve it.

Fixed dependency
1. run sudo dpkg --configure -a then hit enter. Instruct dpkg to "fix" itself
2. run sudo apt-get -f install then hit enter. This will instruct apt-get to correct dependencies and continue to configure your packages.
3. run sudo apt install [issued_dependency_name] --reinstall hit enter and wait until finished.

4. go back to re-run Installation step that have an issue.

Test LÖVE Engine

run love --version then hit enter. You will see LOVE 0.10.2 (Super Toast) message on screen.

Test Demo
**If you have downloaded demos.zip from bitbucket, so you can test demos by...
relocate into demos folder then run love passingclouds.love then hit enter. You will see like my screen.

    Here are all step preparing for start develop game on Raspberry Pi, you can follow this Tutorial Site from official that easy and get involve by yourself or if you would like me to do something please comment below. 

    Why do i use this low spec computer to develop a game. Reminded the fact of any application or game that was really great is performance. I have seen a lot people coding as they want to be consume a lot of RAM, CPU and GPU they had but only few people will think about a few line of code, optimization, use lowest spec as much as possible. This Raspberry Pi will created that environment for you to help and practice you while you're buddy of it.

    The goal is your game can running on Linux, MacOS, Windows also on iOS and Android Go without any performance issued, it reach you to the best result as expected with the way thinking of starting project. right? or you don't think like this.

See you next thread, stay safe at home and have fun with game development
