Via Windows Linux Subsystem (WSL)

The luarocks package can be installed on a Windows Linux Subsystem.

Once installed, to use it, use luarocks inside a WSL shell or wsl luarocks within a Windows shell.

wsl                             # Enter WSL shell (if installed and enabled)
sudo apt-get update             # Update package lists (otherwise luarocks may not be found)
sudo apt-get install luarocks # Install luarocks

Registries

LÖVE 2D can interact with many things through the use of strings.

love.audio.getEffect("anEffect");
// Nothing crashes if anEffect didn't exist

love.filesystem.readFile("file.txt");
// No crash, just returns an error

Filepath Registry

LÖVE 2D can interact with the file system.

love.filesystem.getLastModified("file.txt");

However, there likely is a FileRegistry stopping you.

Effect Registry

LÖVE 2D allows Effects to be added to the audio that is playing. Each effect is added with a name which can be used to obtain the audio effect later.

love.audio.setEffect("myEffect", {...});
love.audio.getEffect("myEffect");

To aid TypeScript, an EffectRegistry interface has been provided to keep track of the audio effects planned to be set.

Image Registry

LÖVE 2D can load images.

love.graphics.newImage("img/Player.png");

What is stopping you in TypeScript? The ImageRegistry.
