As discussed in the previous tutorial, we are given some tools by the Lua language natively to make our lives easier. These are variables, functions, if-statement, loops, etc. For simple scripting, these were good enough. However, as it is the case with any other tools, given the right tools, people start building things that are even more complex. And to combat ever-growing complexity in our code, people have developed different styles of coding. There are a number of approaches such as Procedu…
