Hello,
I have been reading some blog posts and other documentation here on the Corona site, and I am still not sure what is the recommended approach to creating classes.
So far, I have narrowed it down to two approaches, one with meta tables and one without:
[lua]-- Cat Class
Cat = {}
Cat.new = function()
self = {}
self.property = “value”
self.method = function(params)
…
end
return self
end
– Dog Class
local Dog = {}
local Dog_mt = { __index = Dog }
function Dog.new()
local newDog = {
property = “value”
…
}
return setmetatable( newDog, Dog_mt )
end
function Dog:someMethod()
…
end
return Dog[/lua]
Can anyone share some knowledge, and explain which is better?
I must admit I am not completely following Lua’s metatable concept yet. [import]uid: 145050 topic_id: 26813 reply_id: 326813[/import]
