I just played with it straight for about a half hour, very engaged. this typewriter toy is great! it’s actually a pretty good writing exercise tool; it’d be good for one of those free writes that were popular in middle school. since the program constantly destroys any attempt of mine to organize my thoughts, it’s perfect for stream-of-consciousness writing.

Of course, Jumpcore is more suited to a programmer who knows how to work with OpenGL, SDL, etc., because all of the functionality is presumably right there out in the open, whereas löve wraps it all and thus doesn't make everything directly available, but for those interested in programming games who aren't up to the challenges involved in learning/using SDL/OpenGL etc., löve might just be the thing to use.
