Creating a plugin

  1. Find the "plugintemplate" folder inside the LÖVE executable file
  2. Copy the folder into "%appdata%/LOVE/ChocoLab/plugins" to enable the plugin
  3. At this point, you should see in the bottom-left corner in the in-game menu that your plugin is successfully loaded (requires restart)
  4. Change "plugintemplate" inside "plugin.lua" to the name of your plugin and do the same to the plugin folder
  5. You’re set up and ready to go! Now just go and figure out how to modify the game, I’m not writing a tutorial :P
