You forgot to define event1:init() and event2:init(), and then, you forgot to call them once.

This is a restriction of using class(), you may define a constructor, and call it to create the object

Nothing, if you don't need so.

Actually, class() seperates the meta-tables and creates a new one to let you call event1 as a specific class. init() initializes the meta-table.
class() is not part of Lua, it is part of the TI Nspire framework, thus, it computerizes some routines to represent classes in Lua, even if it is not an object oriented language.

Indeed, I totally forgot that.

You can double post, but only if it's an update for a project or if it has been a long time since the last post.
