A 2D framework where you write the whole game in Lua — from nothing to a window in a handful of lines.
Released in 2008, and not an engine with an editor but a framework: you write Lua that LÖVE calls each frame via love.update and love.draw. Under the hood sit SDL and OpenGL.
zlib-licensed and cross-platform. A favourite at game jams like Ludum Dare, precisely because the distance from empty file to a moving sprite is so short.
