From DoomRL Wiki

The level object in DoomRL pulls triple duty: it stores and publishes properties relevant to the current level, it provides access to the level API which includes procedures from Lua, DoomRL, and valkyrie, and through clever use of metatables it exposes the light, cell type, and HP arrays stored in the valkyrie LuaMapNode object. Here we focus on its representation as an object.
