oven=require("wetgenes.gamecake.toaster").bake(opts)

A cut down oven without opengl or even file access intended to be used in a sub process or task.

oven=wetgenes.gamecake.toaster.bake(opts)

Bake creates an instance of a lua module bound to an oven state. Here we are creating the main state that other modules will then bind to.

Modules are then bound together using rebake...

b=oven.rebake(nameb)
c=oven.rebake(namec)

All of these will be connected by the same oven and circular dependencies should work with the caveat that just because you have the table for a baked module does not mean that it has all been filled in yet.

ticks=require("wetgenes.gamecake.toaster").newticks(rate,jump)

create a ticks time controller for updates.

rate is time between steps , jump is how far behind we should get before giving up ( eg callback takes longer than rate allows ) these values are in seconds and default to 1/60 and 1 respectively.

Then we perform one or more update steps like so

ticks.step( callback ) -- callback may be called zero or more times

After that we should wait a bit (maybe draw a frame) and then call again.
