How can i "link" two lua files together?

So lets say i have LVL1.lua and i made that level and then i make a LVL2.lua

NOTE:in sublime when you code and you already have a word in the file it gives you suggestions…

So i wanted LVL2 to see what i typed in LVL1… is that possible??

Sounds like you want level 2 to include everything from level 1.

Store the level definition in tables, then simply copy the level 1 table into level 2 before adding new content.

SSK provides extensions to table.* for this (shallowCopy and deepCopy):

@all,

If you have suggestions for Sonic please post them.  I’m outta here for now.

Not sure of what you exactly need but i guess that what you want is the “require” function.
