    I don't understand how to restart my game

    The code in my game is such that I have created classes and created class:init() function and that's how most of my codess start, though I am clueless that How do I really restart my game?

    I am posting some of the important parts of the game which I might need while I restart the game:

    dummy = Core.class(Sprite)

    function dummy:init()

    --all code

    end
    function WatchHands:init()
    --all code
    end

    How to call these at the location where I want to restart the game?

      I usually do that using SceneManager (https://github.com/gideros/Scene-Manager)

      So basically you define the scenes you have in main.lua :
      --define scenes 
sceneManager = SceneManager.new({ 
    --start scene ["start"] = Start, 
    --pack select scene ["pack_select"] = PackSelect, 
    --level select scene ["level_select"] = LevelSelect, 
    --level itself ["level"] = Level 
})
--add manager to stage 
stage:addChild(sceneManager)
--and go to the first scene you have
sceneManager:changeScene("start", 1, SceneManager.flipWithFade, easing.outBack)
      So then you create a separate file for each scene, for example:
      Level = Core.class(Sprite)
 
function Level:init()
    -- here you create everything you want for your scene as
    --dummy or WatchHands instances, but not definitions
    --only instances, definitions should be in separate files
end
 
--and then when you want to restart a level, you just restart a scene:
function Level:restart()
    sceneManager:changeScene("level", 1, SceneManager.flipWithFade, easing.outBack)
end
      Check a game template for more examples:
