Fireworks simulation in less 200 tokens !

Never really had a lot of Lua experience prior to this. So the commonly accepted way to make "objects" in Lua is to just make a function that returns a table of pre-configured values?
Also, is there a particular reason you did
function p_create(x,y,color,speed,direction)
p={}
p.x=x
p.y=y
p.color=color
p.dx=cos(direction)*speed
p.dy=sin(direction)*speed
return p
end
|
Rather than:
function p_create(x,y,color,speed,direction)
local p=
{
x=x,
y=y,
color=color,
dx=cos(direction)*speed,
dy=sin(direction)*speed,
}
return p
end
|
Like I said, not a Lua expert, but this seems to make more sense, since it saves about 5 tokens, and stops "p" from being a global variable.
even better:
function p_create(x,y,color,speed,direction)
return {
x=x,
y=y,
color=color,
dx=cos(direction)*speed,
dy=sin(direction)*speed
}
end

Hi Danjen and Musurca - indeed that's much better. Thank you very much - I did some research I just learned that in Lua, scope of variables is global by default (!)
