When to use this skill
{{SKILL_DESCRIPTION}} Use this skill when working with system operations, platform detection, system information retrieval, or any system-related operations in LÖVE games.
Common use cases
- Retrieving system and platform information
- Detecting operating system and hardware capabilities
- Accessing system-specific features
- Handling platform-specific behavior
- Managing system resources and capabilities

Examples
Platform detection
-- Detect current platform
local platform = love.system.getOS()
if platform == "Windows" then
-- Windows-specific code
elseif platform == "OS X" then
-- macOS-specific code
elseif platform == "Linux" then
-- Linux-specific code
end
System information
-- Get system information
local cpuCores = love.system.getProcessorCount()
local ramMB = love.system.getMemoryUsage() / (1024 * 1024)
print("CPU Cores: " .. cpuCores)
print("Memory Usage: " .. string.format("%.2f", ramMB) .. " MB")
Best practices
- Use system information for platform-specific optimizations
- Handle platform differences gracefully
- Consider performance when accessing system information frequently
- Test on target platforms for compatibility
- Be mindful of privacy when accessing system information
Platform compatibility
- Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux): Full system support
- Mobile (iOS, Android): Limited system information access
- Web: Very limited system access due to browser restrictions
