I have a module like this:
local M = {} M.num = 0 return M
In another file, I want to do this:
local module = require("M") -- Name of the module file module.num = 10
In a third file when I check “module.num” it’s back to 0 again. What I’m trying to do is create some sort of " Constant" variable to hold the current highscore, unlocked levels, etc.
That looks correct to me - if you restart the app the values will reset though.

“module” is a quasi reserved word in Lua much like “require” I would advise against using common names that are also Lua identifiers like “table”, “string” and so on.
See if changing that has any affect.
