Code structure and organization question

[midnight rose]

Hi! I would say I know the fundamentals of oop, metatables, etc, but it's hard for me to actually use it when developing.
I tried watching this video by Leif but I'm still kinda lost:

Does anyone have any references, videos, or just tips for better code organization to make a modular system? Do I always have to use oop, and if not, when do I use it?
I would love some feedback!!

You don't always have to use OOP, in fact you never actually have to, it's just a preference since there are so many different types of programming paradigms such as OOP, FP (functional programming), procedural and more.

How you want to structure your project is up to you but it's best to follow clear names and good folder structure.

Good use of single entry points

Don't use oop

Why?

OOP is Satan's way of making everything slower

So what’s the best way to organize your code in your opinion?

I think the best way to organize your projects is just to organize it in a way that anyone could easly see/understand where what is and what it is suppose to do. So using OOP is not really required in my opinion its just a preference thing.

I assume he would rather for you to use the functional paradigm than OOP
