Jous-Testing-and-Learning Noteskin.lua

--[[
Ok now its time for the Noteskin.lua, Normaly first make the metric.ini and then the Noteskin.lua, Which I also did with this noteskin.
The Noteskin.lua fallsback on the noteskin thats been defined in the metric.ini, Which is common in this case.
The Noteskin.lua is a file which we used for lets say advanced defining how noteskins act, While the metric.ini uses pre-defined code.
In the Noteskin.lua we can do a load of cool stuff to a noteskins, And add redirects and everything, So we dont have to use a load of redir/duplicate files.
Also to edit a code out there are two ways, there is -- and then just he code behind it, Or --[[ --]], which can be used with enters.
We dont have to add -- to the last brackets but we still do it incase we remove the --[[ and leave the ]] because that will break the code and result in errors.
--]]
--Okey lets start with defining everything as ret, so we can return it at the end.
local ret = ... or {};

--Also I'm gonna add a extra local, It might be silly but it helps me and people when this mistake of using var instead of Var because its case sensetive.
local var = Var;

--And now we define the redirect table, We use this table so we dont have to use massive code for all the directions redirecting on to Down.
--Because the images are basicly the same, It just needs to rotate a bit, In the 3.9 line we used .redir files eveywere, Which used a load of space.
--.redir files still work but most people that use sm5 and know how to work with lua dont use them anymore, Also with this code.
--You might wonder what is calling some of the code, Check out the Noteskin.lua in the common noteskin, Because they are defined there.
--I recomend you to not touch or play with the common Noteskin.lua tough, You might break the code and be confused for hours.
ret.RedirTable =
{
    Left = "Down",
    UpLeft = "Down",
    Down = "Down",
    Up = "Down",
    UpRight = "Down",
    Right = "Down",
};

--Anyways lets start with the redirects shall we, So first we are going to define the stuff he that we defined in the common Noteskin.lua so we can use them.
--We define the ret.Redir to be called OldRedir, So we dont get problems, We can also call it OneDoesNotSimpelyRedir, Or whatever we want.
--But we are used to OldRedir, so we use that, same with the local ret = ... or {};, You can call it whatever you want, But still using the standards are best.
local OldRedir = ret.Redir;
--I always wondered why we use this to define sButton and sElement, Because we also have the Var option, So we could basicly use.
--local sButton - Var "Button";, Same for element, But this also works, And it has been used for some time, And I dont feel like changing it ;)
ret.Redir = function(sButton, sElement)
    sButton, sElement = OldRedir(sButton, sElement);

    --I'm going to define some stuff here for my silly testing code, Its nothing important.
