# require

Opens and executes Lua modules.

Use periods to seperate folders. If the module is a lua file, don't use the .lua extension in the string passed to require.

                        require
                        (
                        "foo"
                        )
                        require
                        (
                        "subfolder.bar"
                        )

LÖVE adds two loaders (before the Lua loaders) that search for modules in the game and save directory. These loaders are not affected by Lua's package.path.
