     4 Event handlers are [LuaAPI Lua] functions that Hedgewars calls on certain events. Lua scripts are supposed to _define_ these functions to do something. The functions are then _called_ by Hedgewars when a certain event has occured. For an example of how this works, see [LuaGuide].

     9 This function is called before the game loads its resources. One can read and modify various [LuaGlobals#Game_variables game variables] here. These variables will become globally available after `onGameInit` has been invoked, but changing them has only an effect in `onGameInit`.

    10 Most game variables are optional, but for missions, `Theme` must be set by the scripter if you want to use a random map, rather than an image map. All other variables do not need to be set by the scripter and have default values.
