⚠ THIS IS BUILT FOR LINUX! IT USES BASH FOR A LOT OF FUNCTIONALITY! IT WILL NOT WORK ON WINDOWS!

Meliorare

A day counter for the Linux desktop built with Love2D.

• If you installed Love2D using flatpak, you will have to manually change the start date in 'main.lua', you will also have to edit 'run.sh', there is a comment there that gives more detail.

Files

• 'main.lua' -Main script.
• 'run.sh' -Launcher script.
• 'icon.png' -Application icon.
• 'desktoptemplate' -Template for creating a desktop entry.

Installing the desktop icon.

If you want the application to display as an icon:

1. Edit 'desktoptemplate' and change the word "USER" to your username.
2. Move it to your applications folder:

mv desktoptemplate ~/.local/share/applications/Meliorare.desktop

Setting the start date.

The start date will be empty at first (and will remain at 0 until it is set), after clicking the desktop icon, or using run.sh while in the directory, click on the change start date. The start date is in the format month-day-year (So the 16th of december 2025 would be '2025-12-16')
