Oh right, the relevance of these posts! I almost watched MLP the other day, when the topic spilled into the So what is Everyone Up to Thread. The furthest I got was looking up some MLP pictures. No, not yet. http://ourl.ca/13506

That looks like some nice animations with the kicking. Will definitely appeal to MLP Fans  . Also why is the max points 25500?

@adriweb: Yeah I've seen it, I understand the actual definition even less. Sorry. http://ourl.ca/11717/354363@Levak: Yeah I don't know what I was going on back there. We were looking at foo = Foo() and Bar = class(Foo)

Ah thank you, this helps. Thanks for the help in explaining self, my head is still flipping from the uses of . and : but now I've understood the concepts, the stuff previously said makes more sense now.
Bar = class(Foo)
So this will also call Foo:init() after it assigns the table of Bar? That's interesting.

Ah, I'm making stupid mistakes again, I go back and look at it again and see that that line is within the function BallClass:init(x, y, radius) Oh of course, I get what ipairs is now. Takes all the indices in numbered order (ones that can be ordered anyway), and has the indicies and keys from the table in pairs. Ok. Oh wow I didn't know that _ could be used as a variable. Kinda like a wild card. Is it? ":" is just a shortcut for a.b(self)
So PointClass:init(x, y) is a shortcut for PointClass.init(PointClass, x, y) How does that translate to something in a table? I'm trying to work through in my mind the connections between all this stuff, and I still don't quite get it. I even drew a diagram, draft version, probably some mistake in there  . To describe what i'm not getting, it's the syntax that's getting me. I'm having trouble understanding the meaning of certain parts of the syntax lua classes use.

I saw the post text in the topic list by using tapatalk, so I knew it was an autoplay vid, then couldn't see the vid, so I knew something was fishy. Rickroll, right? 
I had just read down to the exact word 'fishy' when the video loaded and began spurting noise through my earphones. Ah, the timing...

5464: You compile your .lua script with Luna with a handmade batch file
5465: You edited your batch file so that it would allow user input for the version number in the filename, but fill in the rest for you
5466: You 'spam' click on this .bat file to compile your .lua code every 5 minutes in bursts of 3+
5467: You end up using Alt + D in the emulator for a quick shortcut to open the file
5468: You wish you had TINCS full license so it would be slightly easier
5469: You say to yourself, stop complaining, it's hard programming work
5470: You wish you had a CX, instead of a crappy clickpad with depleting batteries

There are in total for generations of MLP, only gen 4, MLP:FIM which launched 2010 is so popular
Yeah, seeing as MLP as a long history, here's the cover of the game I was talking about, going all the way back to 1998! (Wow, some old games I must have to be advertising that stuff): http://i2.listal.com/image/618415/600full-my-little-pony-friendship-gardens-cover.jpgGoddamn, now I feel like watching MLP  Hmm I was thinking later it might be that. I guess whenever Zelda is mentioned, I'm not the only one who thinks about game consoles. Then I remember Total War is a big RTS game series (one which I would like to get into), but I've been spending too much time on other strategy game series such as Sid Meier's Civilization.
If there ever is a time to get into Total War, now is definitely it. Rome II: Total War is releasing in September. There's very high expectations for it, since the original Rome: Total War is perhaps the most popular in the series. (Despite all the best mods being for Medieval II and Empire/Napoleon Total Wars)
That sounds great! I only heard of Total War possibly 2 years ago, when I saw a screenshot of huge armies, and I was like what is that game? Looks like an epic RTS. Well I'll see what I can do about trying some Total War stuff, but I'm still addicted to Civilization IV

Wow in the last few days, progress went from fast to supersonic!
Only one little thing, when you indent your code, and then backspace it, it comes out as backspacing spaces instead of an indent.
Also, how do you scroll down the info in the API guide?

PointClass.init(self, x, y)
What does the first argument (self) represent in relation to PointClass?
as compared to
PointClass:init(x, y)
for _, ball in ipairs(ball_tbl) do
I'm not 100% what in ipairs means as I've never had to use it. Also what does for _ mean? I'm more used to something like for x=sample, sample+9 do.
I know I'm getting closer to understanding everything...

Ball = class()
Yeah I meant that as well, I forgot about that capitalised in that post. I already had these conventions in my current Lua project. Oops.
Also with instances of the classes, what if you want many instances using the same class,like at least 10? I've thought about using a table/list/array. Then I could call them by just referencing a particular value within the table.
Eg, using the function Ball:init(arg1, arg2)
Like this?
ballarray = {{3,4},{6,10},{4,11}...}
self.speed = spd
So this is not valid? does it have to be self.speed = speed, or self.speed = 0[a number], or self.speed = {}
EDIT: Oh I see the self.speed has to match the arguments.
function ball:init(speed, size)
self.speed = speed
self.size = size
I thought assigning any variable with a valid name would do ok...
Also thanks mannuri for explaining var.store() and math.eval()

We are calc coders, aka underground guys that nopony cares about so Hasbro probably won't ever notice us.
The world hardly knows about us. I was programming some Lua (on my secret project!) while on the train the other day, one of my friends noticed the long bytes for images and asked can't you just embed the image into the Lua program. I had no other explanation as he thought I was coding for PC so I told him it was for calculator, at the same time bringing up the kArmTI emulator. He mostly had no idea what I was really doing, How would an MLP game work without the ponies. Actually I remember on the inside cover of one of my really old CD-ROM games there was an assortment of game covers including one of MLP, though the ponies looked quite different.

edit 2:
FINNALY!!!, i made it!
i just need var.store() all vars and its done.
Thank you guys i love you all!!
so var.store() solves the problem? I wonder how it does that... yi=math.eval("nSolve(fl=fr,yi)")
I was thinking this line might not work, but on second thought, it looks all right. Also more questions Also in my previous post, I made a mistake, class shouldn't be capitalised, should all be lower case, so that was wrong. So clarification, ball = class() -- creates a class called ball using the class function that is predefined
function ball:init(speed, size) -- initialises the class, it can be called by just ball() elsewhere in the code
self.speed = spd -- these are added to the table, ball?
self.size = size
end
