Learning on Roblox
Once they grasp some lua basics and I've actually got a little code running but before I do much to make a game. I'd suggest you give them loom my fork includes the documentation with the code. Also a class system either a basic but easy to understand or more featureful.

Could someone critique my way of doing simple OOP and perhaps offer improvements or tell me if I'm doing something wrong?
I can't criticism your implementation at the moment but I want to share a tiny class module for Lua as a inspiration. https://github.com/rxi/classic

New to Lua and coding in general. Trying to understand the self command. Why does Version 1 of this code work and Version 2/3 not work?
(this example uses classic, which is a library I like using for OOP to keep things simple)

Arbitrary 'require' order
I like classic over middleclass: https://github.com/rxi/classic Feels lighter weight, like barely anything.
- How would I go about creating a item/object and be able to instance it.
- I'm confused how inheritance works in Lua. What am I doing wrong?

You can do oop in Lua too! You just need a class lib.

I would like to animate a circle moving around a circle (api = love)
I'd recommend spending a bit of time with the readme for classic: https://github.com/rxi/classic

Any Lua exercises?
Get as simple as possible OOP library, for example this one and write some code using it. This library can inherit ordinary functions, but not any metamethods. Try to improve it. If you can implement metamethod chaining inheritance that allows you to __call an instance of inherited classes like a function, then you understand metamethods thoroughly. Even if you fail, it still will be a good practice.

Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?
Or the more free TIC-80. I have paid for both, but never used either enough to be able to say one or the other has any significant advantages.

Hey, I need advice!😶
Try https://tic80.com/ instead of PICO-8, it's a free open-source alternative and still fun.
