Hi,
I don't undestend what is the function of variables self.xxxx .
The variables self.xxxx are alredy define when the game is running? If is like this, there is a list?

self is not a defined keyword, but given in lua to get variables of your class. i think it´s the same like namespace in visual basic etc isn´t it?

You can access member variables with the self prefix. Example:

function MyClass:printMyVar()
print("myVar: ", self.myVar);
end;

you should treat self as a keyword.
