Features
---
- Automatically detects and renders to connected VR headsets (works without a headset too!)
- Simple 3D graphics API supporting primitives, 3D models, fonts, shaders, skyboxes, framebuffers, etc.
- Create projects for Windows, macOS, Linux, or WebVR
- Spatialized audio
- 3D physics

Getting Started
---
You can download precompiled binaries from the [website](http://lovr.org). There, you
can also find documentation and a set of tutorials and examples. Here is the hello world example
for LÖVR:
```lua
function lovr.draw()
lovr.graphics.print('Hello World!', 0, 1.7, -3, .5)
end
```
To run it, first create a folder for your project and put the code in a file called `main.lua`.
Then, just drop the `project` folder onto `lovr.exe` (or run `lovr.exe path/to/project` on the
command line). Put on your headset and you should see the text at the front of your play area!
#### Spinning Cube
```lua
function lovr.draw()
lovr.graphics.cube('line', 0, 1, 0, .5, lovr.timer.getTime())
end
```
#### 3D Models
```lua
function lovr.load()
model = lovr.graphics.newModel('teapot.fbx', 'teapot.png')
end
function lovr.draw()
model:draw()
end
```
#### Audio
```lua
function lovr.load()
local sound = lovr.audio.newSource('darudeSandstorm.ogg')
sound:play()
end
```
