So I have started using Lua Socket to experiment with some networking (In the future I hope to make a fun little multiplayer game), and in a lot of the cases when we are sending data back and fourth to the server, we are using a string.format() and string.match() combo. Now, I have been reading up o...

After a few more seconds two white-ish arrows apear in the upper left corner forming a circle. I think it may...
