Personally, I would create a new table for each button, and store relevant data about the button such as callbacks when clicked, dimensions, coordinates, colors, etc. So: button1 = {c...

A variation of this: https://love2d.org/wiki/BoundingBox.lua -- where x,y,w,h are the coordinates and dimensions of the button box and mx,my are the coordinates...
