LOVE (http://love.sourceforge.net/?page=home)

LÖVE is an open-source 2D game engine which uses the versatile Lua scripting language to create dynamic gaming experiences. It relies on OpenGL graphics and the SDL interface library to allow for cross-platform implementation and is an all-encompassing gaming environment for the development and enjoyment of 2D games.

From the download page:

Mac build? Sure, but sadly the team does not posess a Mac at this time. Feel free to contact us if you want to maintain a Mac build.

Show your support for cross platform gaming (and superfulous umaluts.)

LÖVE, eh...

These libraries are required:
* SDL
* SDL_mixer
* PhysFS
* DevIL
* Lua
* FreeType2
* OpenGL
* boost (libboost-dev)


I was interested until there were no screenshots on their site and the list of libraries was as long as my arm ;)

Yikes, no idea what was wrong there :| Thanks for the heads-up :)

It's back up now, anyway. Amazing what the "restart" button'll do for ya.
