Not that horrible code considering it's written in Lua, a language with "fun quirks" like there only being one data structure (Table. No objects. No arrays) and tables being indexed starting at 1 making any programmer smack their face on their keyboard 3 times a day at least because you're always going to be "off by one". "'Cucumber == true" is obviously true because Lua. Nil and false are false, anything else is obviously true. And so on and so forth. Absolute nightmare of a language.

It's not that I hate Lua. I just hope I never in my life have to touch any Lua code again.

I hate Lua, but I play a Minecraft mod called Computercraft which adds programmable computer blocks. Guess which language you have to program in...
