NOTE: This book is using Löve 0.9.1.
We will need the following tools for development
You will need to download Löve.
Windows: you will need the Windows Zipped Installer. Unzip and double click to install. When it is installed it might be a good idea to put a shortcut into your taskbar or on the desktop.
If you use Mac/OSX then use will need the Zipped App and put it in your /Applications/ folder. It might be a good idea to put a shortcut into you dock via drag and drop.
If you use Linux you can either built from source or get it via PPA.
We will need to write code into files, so you need a text editor.
There even are ways to run Löve directly from Sublime or Notepad++ via shortcuts. This is recommended because it greatly accelerates the debugging process.
Hint Any editor will do. You could even use notepad if you like.
