#How easy would it be for a beginner to learn modding this game?

If I can't figure out how to, I have a deck idea I've been cooking up that I can post here
I'm curious about this too. I have some programming experience, but I don't know anything about Lua or the love2d game engine. I wish there were more resources on how to make a simple beginner mod, or some sort of documentation on different aspects of how the game's code works.
a good place to start could be looking at the game code, the game's executable can just be opened as a zip archive (renaming it to a .zip can do this). Also steamodded has a few example mods to be used as reference. Lua's a pretty simple language by design, so it shouldn't be too hard to pick up.
how do i actually "package" a mod? like if i wanted to test something basic like a value change
i'm looking at the debug menu mod and its a just a lua file with
function SMODS.INIT.DebugMode() G.DEBUG = true _RELEASE_MODE = false end
but i want to know why it's like this
The package is the Lua file itself. The debug menu mod just turns a variable on to enable the built in debug mode that's in unmodded
