== Setting up in VS Code ==
Install Lua extension in marketplace. Place [https://github.com/rafradek/sigsegv-mvm/blob/master/scripts/globals.lua globals.lua] and [https://github.com/rafradek/sigsegv-mvm/blob/master/scripts/library.lua library.lua] in the directory where you want to create lua scripts, and load them in VS Code. This will enable autocompletion for your lua scripts
