I know some resources to learn pixelart:

And you can also check this video:

Thanks, i'm sure my friend will find these tutorials very useful.

Those two looks pretty promising for the LOVE2D side of your question. (At least for the library not LUA in general)

 

The pixelart side, i'm not sure. I've actually had that same question for a while.

Thanks for trying, but the first link is mostly for the the functions Love2D does not actually Lua itself. The 2nd link already mentions you need knowledge in Lua before continuing. My problem isn't LOVE2D related, but to actually find a tutorial on learning actual Lua so that I can take that knowledge and use it in LOVE2D. I was hoping there would be some kind of tutorial series until I can get the book.

 

http://www.youtube.com/user/StandardCoding?feature=watch < A few videos regarding LUA 5.2.

 

As far as a book goes, http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/859037985X/lua-pilindex-20 < that was suggested in a forum thread on the LOVE site. 

 

And on the official site http://www.lua.org/pil/ < there are a few tutorials there. 

 

And this site http://luatut.com/ which seems to be LUA 5.1 (?) 

Yeah, that was the book I was originally planning to buy. I'll probably have to wait until I can get the book because most tutorials seem to be on how to use Lua with C++ and using the libraries, not the actual language itself. Thanks for trying to help though. I'll keep these resources in case I need them.

When you say other libraries are you referring to ones that are already included such as stdafx.h which I believe is used for compiling faster. I believe I will stick with OpenGL since I want my games to be on all platforms. I might experiment with Direct X too. Anyways, thanks for all the help!

@game of thought Your kind of late. In one of my previous posts I answered the MMORPG thing.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I do realize that as a beginner I can't exactly make a MMORPG. I was a bit tired at post of this thread, so I didn't exactly mean something as big as that. Maybe just a RPG so that I don't have to get into networking yet. Like teckpow stated a ORPG could be a possible answer.

@teckpow Thanks for all the help! I just have a couple of more questions. What would be the best IDE for C++? in tutorials I have watched they use CodeBlocks, but I also could get Visual C++ IDE from Microsoft. Lastly, I know there are more graphics libraries than OpenGL. If I remember correctly there is also Ogre. Which one would be better or easier to use to get more visual detail etc?
