Installing the development version (for Windows)

There is a "stable" version of the game. As of 2014-08, this is trAInsported version 4, running with LOVE 0.8.

Then, there is a "current" or "development" version, where the developer(s) are working on new features, fixing bugs, and to make the game better, faster etc. As of 2014-08, this is version 5, running with LOVE 0.9.

The most notable improvement of v5 over v4 is a big speedup in the rendering of maps.

To install LOVE, the game and running it:

• Download the Löve2D Engine . Select the 32- or 64-bit version of the Windows-installer, according to your system. As of 2014-04, LOVE is at version 0.9.1.

• Install the Löve2D Engine: click the installer, and select some directory for its location (e.g. C:\Programme\LOVE).

• Download trAInsported: On its github-page, right sidebar "download ZIP" . This will get you a file trAInsported-master.zip with the current state of the development version, and you don't need a github-client to use it.

• Extract the .zip file to a new directory (e.g. D:\home\USER\trAInsported, where USER is your username).

• Now, there are several ways to start LOVE and run a program such as trAInsported (see https://www.love2d.org/wiki/Getting_Started). Running from a console-window has the advantage that (error-)messages can be seen. This is important for spotting bugs and reporting crashes. To avoid the need to type long pathnames every time, we use a batch-file for the start-command:

• Make a batch-file (e.g. tr-start.bat), containing a line C:\Programme\LOVE\love.exe D:\home\USER\trAInsported

• Double-click this .bat file.

• Continue with the tutorials

New features are nice, but the downside is that the development version might contain bugs, resulting in crashes etc. OTOH, developers need to hear about those bugs, so they can fix them. Reporting a bug (or a feature-request) is done by making a New issue (top right, green button).
