lovr.load

Edit

This callback is called once when the app starts. It should be used to perform initial setup work, like loading resources and initializing classes and variables.

function lovr.load(arg)
  -- your code here
end

Notes

If the project was loaded from a restart using lovr.event.restart, the return value from the previously-run lovr.restart callback will be made available to this callback as the restart key in the arg table.

The arg table follows the Lua standard. The arguments passed in from the shell are put into a global table named arg and passed to lovr.load, but with indices offset such that the "script" (the project path) is at index 0. So all arguments (if any) intended for the project are at successive indices starting with 1, and the executable and its "internal" arguments are in normal order but stored in negative indices.

Example

function lovr.load(arg)
  model = lovr.graphics.newModel('sponza.gltf')
  texture = lovr.graphics.newTexture('cena.png')
  effects = lovr.graphics.newShader('vert.glsl', 'frag.glsl')
  loadLevel(1)
end
