Hi @coltonoscopy,

I just followed the CS50 Game (after finishing the CS50 Intro to Computer Science) and about to start doing my first assignment. First of all, I am very impressed with everything about the lecture. From the way you are teaching, your slides, programming languages selection, and the assignments. Can't wait to finish all the lectures and assignments. After finishing the course I am planning to create mobile games and deploy them on the App stores.

However, I want to report 2 (minor) things regarding the course materials.

  1. The URL to the older Löve distributions (https://bitbucket.org/rude/love/downloads/) that is posted in the CS50 page (https://cs50.harvard.edu/games/2018/assignments/0/) is no longer valid.
  2. I noticed that you have updated your source code here to be compatible with the latest Löve's version, however, again, the source code provided in the CS50 page is still the older one (cdn.cs50.net/games/2019/x/assignments/0/assignment0.zip).

I was having problem with running your old source code, didn't know what was wrong, and finally managed to get it run thanks to this repo - after spending some time figuring out what was the problem. So, my humble request is, it would be nice to post this latest source code to the CS50 page so that new students won't have to struggle with this same issue anymore.

Thank you and all the best, Jauhari
