After the fourth page I think I already got it thanks anyways
Btw, someone mentioned that functions are kept in the global environment as well. Could one do this:

Dots? You do realize underscores won't function as table accessors though, right? lowercase, pascalCase, CamelCase, under_scores are formatting choices, but table access can only happen with either [brackets] or .dots (for literal strings, that is) I didn't know that, but what's the difference betw...

Ugh, here I am again, with my "GML" knowledge where fps and game logic is the same thing. (well at least you could uncouple them tho)

Yes your GameMaker background is apparent from the way you code.

That's why I prefer using underscores rather than dots. I just think it's way more readable, just my opinion tho.

What about LOVE's tutorial on capping fps? function love.load() min_dt = 1/30 --fps next_time = love.timer.getTime() end function love.update(dt) next_time = next_time + min_dt --rest of function here end function love.draw() --rest of function here local cur_time = love.timer.getTime() if next_time...

Yeah, It was somewhere else in the code.

What if I did this in my second file?
And I could just do get_chunk_width in main.lua
Is this slow? Is this preferred over using the global environment ?

Well, I'm not really a beginner, I came from GM:S so I know my way around.
The problem is I'm working on a large-scale game (huh, I've wondered if this is the hundredth time you heard this) so I'd really prefer the multiple files convenience. I'd guess I would use globals after all. (for some stuff)

Maybe it's better to keep my game in one file mostly then :/

So If I put return varname in my second file, it's scope will also be extended to the file that called that file? (in this case main.lua) Why are we initializing variables just there and not in love.load() as it is said in love2d beginner tutorial? If I do local varname in love.load, does it mean I ...
