Five years ago I started working on a tutorial, Game Programming Basics in Lua and Love2D...
I'm relieved to announce that I have now finished Part I (the Lua-only part)
It's aimed at beginners, and assumes no previous programming experience.
I started writing it based on the experience of an artist friend who took it upon themselves to learn programming as well, in the hopes that it could serve as a guide for people doing something similar, or anyone looking for an approachable path into game development.
This tutorial attempts to get you started developing games as quickly and simply as possible, using the Lua programming language and the Love2D game engine. No previous programming experience is required.
