Create a class with

function MyClass:create()
  instance = {}
  setmetatable(instance, self)
  self.__index = self
  return instance
end

extend a class with

SubClass = MyClass:create()

add a method to your class with

function Class:foo()
  print("Hello world");

function SubClass:bar()
  self.foo()
end

call methods with :

local instance = SubClass:create()
instance:bar() -- This will print "Hello world"

set and define properties with .
