Re: [NTG-context] How to define such a function in lua? Sorry I don't have a name on it.

variables are only symbols in lua. they are reference to values (a place in the memory). On 12/5/08, Zhichu Chen wrote:

but it might make more sense to look into metatables (i assume that you own the programming in lua book which explains that)

I don't have one :(, I'll take a good at it later.

You really should look into the book, it has a whole chapter about object-oriented programming in Lua, and explains useful conventions.

Oh it's a long document. I almost took a day to finish it. I've got the main idea now. Thanks.

I'm sorry, I got another question now. How to link two variables? Like if I change one, the other would be changed as well. This may be a piece of cake for you and please forgive my laziness.
