Mobile gaming is a wast topic on its own.īefore posting on Corona & other non-LOVE game engine forums, it'd probably be good to verify that their API is similar to LOVE's (at least in terms of low-level vs high-level) - otherwise (if it's a real high-level game engine API) then much of the lua code may not be useful. Sometimes they have a forum, where it is possible to make an announcement. International: Gamespot, Slashdot, IGN, etc. General IT- and Gaming-Devoted Communities.
