Getting Started

You can download precompiled binaries from the website. There, you can also find documentation and a set of tutorials and examples. Here is the hello world example for LÖVR:

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

function lovr.draw()
  lovr.graphics.cube('line', 0, 1.7, -1, .5, lovr.timer.getTime())
end

3D Models

function lovr.load()
  model = lovr.graphics.newModel('teapot.fbx', 'teapot.png')
end

function lovr.draw()
  model:draw()
end

Audio

function lovr.load()
  local sound = lovr.audio.newSource('darudeSandstorm.ogg')
  sound:play()
end

Documentation

Documentation and examples are available on the website.
