The require function does not take file names. It takes module names, which can in turn be translated into filenames by replacing all dots with slashes, and appending ".lua". So in your case, calling require with "player.lua" searches for a file "player/lua.lua", so instead, you want to require "player".
With regards to your player.lua file, you probably want to start it with "player = {}" instead, considering that's what you're using elsewhere, and you can't even assign "player.lua" before "player" exists.
