Understanding Lua:

  • Index starts at 1 not 0.
  • Line 1 ????
  • Line 3 Creating a function called drawTierList, frame is the arguments. Can be multiple.
  • Line 4 Not 100% sure, creating the class that holds the whole tierlist?
  • Line 5 finding the name of the game by pulling the first argument from args, need to figure out what gsub is doing.
