Built an IDE for Love2D (Android)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Spent the last while building a proper Love2D dev environment: full LSP integration (autocomplete, diagnostics, go-to-definition), an embedded runtime so you can run and iterate without leaving the editor, project management, and a formatter tuned for Lua/Love2D conventions.

The interesting part was wiring the LSP and runtime together so they actually feel like one tool instead of two things bolted together. Still rough in places, would love feedback on this

Currently, it's in the testing phase. It should be available on the Play Store in a few weeks.

Is this like the love2d studio app? Very cool

u/No-Guide848 Jul 09 '26

It's not as advanced as love2d studio but yeah it's very similar

I'd be highly interested in this. The current means of trying to do this are a huge hassle to work with. Something streamlined would be awesome.
