You need to know how to program with LUA. For that, you can check Lua Reference Manual. Also, you'll need to know how to program with LÖVE framework. You can check their wiki for this...

This will help you:

You also need to know how to code (It isn't easy to learn).

Quads are parts of image files, which is how you would load a tileset (Mari0 separates the tiles out from eachother and the properties using quads, if I'm not mistaken). If you just loaded the PNG file or whatever it'd show every single tile. If this makes no sense go look at goomba code, it's separating frames out of the animation from the file that contains all the frames. If I'm correct, I know very little Lua and haven't coded in it since... I don't even know. Version 5 of turtle's mod, I think...

Lua is a useful language to know, as Lua scripts are usually called by a different coding language. If you learn Lua for this you could then go make a Roblox game, since that uses Lua to program how stuff acts.

That's kind of off putting. It's easy to learn, just have to put a bit of effort into it.
Totally depends how you learn.

I would not recommend just using the Lua manual (as I've stated before)
To learn, you really need to follow a tutorial, take a class (I'd recommend a class, though a tutorial can be almost as good), or if neither of those are good for you, work through actual code.

Working through code is hard, and it is how I learned.
I pestered Maurice half to death (if not more) asking him very basic questions because I knew nothing.

Recommended Tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/user/sockmunkeedevelopmen
I'd make my own, but I've got no time until at least after mid January.

EDIT: Looking back at the manual, it might be an ok place to start. I wasn't able to understand it at all when I started. If you know any other programming language, it'll probably work ok.

Wait. Does it work the same with Mari0 ae (codewise)? I want to make the statue leaf, and I can work with the code, I just want to know that it works the same or similar

This thread is from 8 years ago, I doubt much info in it is still relevant
