# lite-hearted

lite-hearted is a small compatibility shim for the lite text editor that allows
it to run in love2d. It is a quick-and-dirty experiment in embedding editing tools
into a game engine, to allow for building smooth game development workflows. It's
also literally a two-evening hack, so you will probably run into some rough edges!

You can run it simply by cloning this repo and running `love .`. Due to the
limitations of love2d's sandboxed filesystem, you can only edit files that are in
the project itself. Given the goals of this project, this should be fine.

Original README follows:

## Overview
lite is a lightweight text editor written mostly in Lua — it aims to provide
something practical, pretty, *small* and fast, implemented as simply as
possible; easy to modify and extend, or to use without doing either.

## Customization
Additional functionality can be added through plugins which are available from
the [plugins repository](https://github.com/rxi/lite-plugins); additional color
themes can be found in the [colors repository](https://github.com/rxi/lite-colors).
The editor can be customized by making changes to the
[user module](data/user/init.lua).

## Building
You can build the project yourself on Linux using the provided `build.sh`
script. Note that the project does not need to be rebuilt if you are only making
changes to the Lua portion of the code.

## Contributing
Any additional functionality that can be added through a plugin should be done
so as a plugin, after which a pull request to the
[plugins repository](https://github.com/rxi/lite-plugins) can be made. In hopes
of remaining lightweight, pull requests adding additional functionality to the
core will likely not be merged. Bug reports and bug fixes are welcome.
