You need to have followed the installation process for the Love engine.

You also need to have created a minimal game (ie a new folder, with a 'main.lua' file)

Drawing shapes

Now in the draw method add the following to draw a rectangle (or square):

love.graphics.rectangle('fill',0,0,100,50) -- 0,0 is the X & Y 100,50 is the Width & Height
love.graphics.rectangle('line', 150,0,200,200) -- 'fill' will fill the shape 'line' just give the outline

Now add the following to draw an circle:

love.graphics.circle('fill',0,250,100,100) -- 0,250 is the X & Y of the center point of the circle 100,100 is the Width & Height
love.graphics.circle('line', 150,250,200,200) -- 'fill' will fill the shape 'line' just give the outline
