Everyone writes code different, i first try to write it in the lua program (in CC, not a program on the computer) then i then i write the code in Chunks. What is your way of writing codes in Lua on CC?

Have everything in functions then call each of those functions in a master function that gets called at the end of the script

I separate my files when doing big projects. Then I add it into one file if it is not an API, and then I go debugging

Basically this.

Lua is nothing but functions and tables

[ElvishJerricco]

I've written a program called "open" which takes a directory as an argument. It looks at all the files in the folder and loads each one into an environment. Then all the environments have their __index set to the same table, and they're all added to that table.

So basically, you can call each file's functions just like you would an api.

-- file1
file2.function()

After all that, the main function in the file "main" is called.

As for my actual development environment, I have all my programs stored on one disk. I've deleted the folders for each individual dev computer, and replaced them with a symbolic link to the disk. So now I just edit the files on the disk via TextWrangler, and all my computers use the new code. Very useful.

And numbers, strings, nils, booleans, and coroutines =P

I despise this practice. It would make so much more sense to break the top-level function out of being a function and just use it as the body of the program.

I do what you mentioned a lot too. I sometimes have API's in files, runs those then just have my actual main script call all the functions.

I used AdBlock+ to destroy any trace of your comment. So ha.

EDIT: ON TOPIC:
I usually only make functions if I use a block of code multiple times, I really need too, I'm making an API, or I'm using parallels. Otherwise, just smash everything down. Usually don't comment. Usually don't put empty lines between parts. I have found myself doing these more and more often though.

All of my code goes in functions, except for a while true do statement and a few if statements.

Same, but I also do something a lot of new users are not doing, SPACING MY CODE SO ITS READABLE.

My code is readable, well, to me anyways

Me too. OCD is one of the best qualities a programmer can have.

[Mads]

For bigger programs, I just put the main code in something like main.lua, and have classes and stuff in other files, and then I require() them.

[Smiley43210]

Most of my code goes into functions, which I then call in the code logic after the function declarations.

I write my code in functions in Sublime Text and then run the functions (usually)
