Greenhawk: i will Tested your Game Soon 
That's All Greenhawk: Of course, LÖVE accept anything except 3D. I use LÖVE as well, was. Re: Lua vs. C++
Deleted User Dousea: It also accepts 3D, don't lie.
Nope. You can render in 3D, but not really efficient though.
Infinite Rain, TopNotch: Oh yeah, forgot. Sorry, Greenhawk. It accepts both of 'em. Dousea: @ TopNotch: Awesome! I'll check this out Infinite Rain has writtenYou would use C++ for everything.
No, you wouldn't. Iteration times are too slow and most artistic types don't like it.
Most games use a scripting language ( such as Lua ) for things which are either not performance critical or need to be prototyped fast, worked on by artists with little programming experience or, as DC uses it, to mod the game without exposing the source code.
BTW, LOVE uses LuaJIT, which is nearly as fast as Java in most cases. It would be perfectly acceptable for a 2D game with simple game mechanics.
DannyDeth: what about for a top down shooter that replicates Battlefield in 2D form, as it relates to Love2D or any other engine/framework? Greenhawk: A top-down shooter will be fine in LOVE. I've seen more complicated things done with it. Edit: also, follow some tutorials at the LOVE wiki, they have very good documentation there.
Greenhawk: Do you even know any of them? or just want to start to do with it?
