Chapter 8. Packaging and Distributing Your Game

We've developed our game and are ready to distribute it. Traditionally, the contents of the root folder (make sure the main.lua file is in the root folder.) of the game should be zipped and renamed with a .love extension. With that, our game will play because LÖVE is already installed on our development computer. But when we distribute our game, we do not expect the users or gamers to already have LÖVE installed on their computers. For PC and Mac users, we'll have to distribute the game in .exe and .app formats respectively.
