If i do a (dofile "game.lua") can i from that Game.Lua get etc "Base" from the lua i came from?
Between index.lua and game.lua

I really need help with this, either i am stuck. :P

How hard would that be to find out ??

You might need a startup program that is never revisited to set initial
values of variables, load pics, etc so they don't happen again, but
after that I don't see why you can't jump from one file to another.

The only problem I have found is that the file is loaded from memory
stick each time, even if it has already been loaded to RAM.
This will cause things to slow down while moving from one file to another.

Traditionaly, new data is loaded between levels of a game.

Dofile isn't the only method for running other scripts.

I got it to work with another lua file, i will do it throught 3 lua files then.

you want to use: require "filename.lua" at the top of your program

that kinda creates a package. you'll be able to access anything in filename.lua from whatever file you put that line in
