On today’s Corona Geek Hangout we talked about President Obama’s desire to empower all American students from kindergarten through high school to learn computer science.
We also discussed a new tool Roaming Gamer’s Ed Maurina is creating to automatically generate common types of starter game templates. Signup to be an alpha / beta tester for his project.
And, we continued development of our twin stick shooter game with a look at controlling the firing pattern of a player’s weapons. Download the related twin stick shooter project code and make it your own.
