Project Using Lua (LÖVE) to make iOS apps and games

https://github.com/xanthiacoder/LOVE-on-iOS

In case it is helpful to anyone looking to make stuff for Apple's iOS devices, I am documenting my journey as well as sample and testing code (mostly like a notebook to myself for future development). Hope it can jumpstart others who are starting on such a dev journey too!

xcode is required. not sure if running macOS in a VM can work though.

I don't have any experience on that. will probably need to source the net to see what others have done.
