Note that Lua is case sensitive. This line (from the tutorial): player = Player() "Player" is the class, and "player" is an instance of the class. In other words, "player" is the object you want to do stuff with. The error happened because the Player:new() function did ...

One way to learn is by copying others, but instead of watching and copying stuff from tutorials you could just try to copy an existing simple game, like Flappy Bird, Snake, or maybe Breakout. What games do you enjoy? Try to copy that game! With a goal like that you'll make small steps forward while ...

Funny how you mention Jon. He has probably influenced me more than anyone else when it comes to the way I program and think about programming.

os.execute() and io.popen() can be used for executing commands. There's also the FFI library for accessing system functions.

Congrats on the release! Looks pretty nice. The volume in the trailer seem messed up though.

No inner loops, counting of quotes, or generation of any pattern needed. local str = "(1, 'test', none, 10, '', , 'hi, this is a default bio. change it (asap)!')" local items = {} local pos = str:match("%(%s*()") or error("missing '('") while true do -- Match item. loca...

You cannot do this with a single pattern. You need different patterns for matching quoted and unquoted values. This also means you have to match one item at a time and choose the appropriate pattern dynamically.

I'm aware that whatever the performance impact of these would be, it would in most cases the negligible This is the answer. It doesn't matter in most cases. The performance bottleneck in your program is usually not going to be caused by some function calls (with exceptions, of course). If you suspe...

Looking good! The project seem to be progressing nicely.
