clovis

clovis is a command line tool to get your LÖVE prototype up and running in a matter of seconds

It will create all the necessary files and directories, download lume.lua and lurker.lua from their original sources, init a git repository and fire up your default text editor so you can start prototyping right away.

It includes Lurker, a small module which automatically hotswaps changed Lua files in a running LÖVE project.

Install

Well, maybe you should not use it yet but as it's messy and suits only my own needs but here's how you can try it.

git clone https://github.com/felipebueno/clovis.git
cd clovis
chmod +x clovis
export PATH=$PATH:$PWD/clovis
cd path/to/your/new/game
clovis new mygame

About

For now clovis is just a shell script with a bunch of commands that create files and folders that I use for my little experiments. My goal is to make it a kind of package manager for LÖVE (something like Leiningen for Clojure), handling different LÖVE versions and libraries, automating builds, packaging, etc.
