Congrats on earning your first badge!! :D

You've been battling so much. It had to happen sometime.

huge congrats on completionist-ing Winter Chip XIX! that's an enormous feat. i hope you had fun getting your feet wet in a bunch of different formats! it's definitely a good way to find some new stuff you like, in my experience anyway :D

hey, you asked in 'game jam 5' how metatables work... i know how they do -- heres how:

basically, metatables add more functionality to normal tables. usually, tables simply store stuff inside of them AND allow you to get the stuff inside; but with metatables, you could do things like:

► doing arithmetic with tables (table1 + table2), good for vector math
► calling tables as if theyre functions (table1(arguments))

these extra functionalities are called METAMETHODS and are described inside of a METATABLE. METATABLES are assigned to TABLES with "setmetatable()", thus adding the functionalities.

for example:

////
--lua code
local metatable = {__call = function(A) return A + 1 end}
local table = {}

setmetatable(table, metatable)

--now you can call 'table'!

print(table(1)) --prints "2"
////

i believe the lua documentation describes all of the metamethods available. i wouldnt use them in tic80 though, it just feels like overkill xP

OK
