I am trying to make a game where you can draw in a pattern and is it matchs with any of the patterns in the list, something else happens.
Thanks to Ignatz, I have fixed up the last error, but it still is not working as I want it to. 
I edited out all the other parts, but my code is this:
-- Play

Spells={
{"Spell number one", 50, "4, 5, 6, 9"},
{"Spell number two", 20, "1, 2, 3"},
{"Spell number three", 100, "6, 5, 2"},

@hohohohoho When you post code, put 3~'s on a line before and after your code so it shows properly. I add them to your code above.
Well, for such a long chunk of code as that Iād recommend exporting it using Codeaās āCopy Project Codeā function (long-press on project > āExportā > āCopy Project Codeā), then posting it as a single block in a code hosting site, such as github gist. Then people can copy it in one go, and import it into Codea with "Paste into Project) (long-press on ā+ new porojectā button > paste-into-project). Otherwise people would have to go back and forth several times from this page, copying and pasting into tabs etc.
@hohohohoho Instead of me looking thru all of your code and trying to figure out what youāre doing wrong, you can look thru my code and see what Iām doing right. I think this is what youāre trying to do, if not let me know and Iāll modify it. Iām using numbers in the buttons to make it easy to see where to move and I donāt use a string for the number pattern in the spells table.
