For anyone else who is new to this course and is experiencing all of the issues that other users are posting about - please read the Assignment0 text.

I was getting frustrated from experiencing all of the same issues that were being described here. I probably did the same thing all of you did - I started the video and downloaded Love2d, installed it with the video on pause, then came here and clicked download. Then I had issues.

However, after longer than I would care to admit (couple of hours) I read through the Assignment0 and it says to use Love2D build 0.10.2 and provides a link to download older versions of the software. I did this, and now everything works exactly as the class intends, with no issues.

I don't know if it will upgrade to the newer versions of Love2d as the class progresses or not, but if I can save anyone else the hassle, I hope this helps.

Or use one of the forks for the pull requests. I can't vouch for anyone else's fork, but my fork on branch 11.3 works on 11.3 for all versions.

Or see as great opportunity to go beyond and learn resolve version problems, instead to only repeat steps.
