Hangout Highlights – Grid System Enemy Spawning And Working With Tables

Last week on Corona Geek Hangout 175, we continued our twin stick shooter game development series with a look at the grid system used to spawn new enemies and determine their starting proximity to the player. We also discussed global variables and functions, and introduced code to save, load, and inspect table data.
