livecoding library for LÖVE

This is a small live coding library for LÖVE.

It contains a customized love.run which watches for file changes in your source and loads if necessary. Errors get redirected to the command line or on screen.

Tested with LÖVE 11.5.

Optional Parameters

• lick.file = "" -- default is "main.lua"
• lick.debug = true -- displays errors in love window
• lick.reset = true -- calls love.load everytime you save the file, if set to false it will only be called when starting LÖVE
• lick.clearFlag = false -- overrides the clear() function in love.run

Example main.lua

lick = require "lick"
lick.reset = true -- reload love.load everytime you save

function love.load()
    circle = {}
    circle.x = 1
end

function love.update(dt)
    circle.x = circle.x + dt*5
end

function love.draw(dt)
    love.graphics.circle("fill", 400+100*math.sin(circle.x), 300, 16,16)
end
