Do you have specific or a particular Lua framework (e.g., Defold, Roblox Luau) you want included? Is this paper for or industry best-practice documentation
This paper explores the design and implementation of a robust, lightweight, and modular Lua system for managing complex in-game economic behaviors (e.g., "Bubblegum Simulators" or similar clicker/management games). It proposes a best-practice framework that keeps core game engine logic in C++ while offloading behavior, rewards, and inventory management to Lua. Proposed Structure Introduction This paper explores the design and implementation of
Design: Creating discrete modules ( Economy.lua , Inventory.lua , Rewards.lua ) instead of one giant file.
Using local variables to encapsulate code and prevent global state pollution.
Utilizing require() effectively to load modules only when needed. Garbage collection optimization for long-running sessions. Final recommendations for scalable Lua economic systems. Why this is a "Useful" Paper
