I Suck At Managing Topics

This isnt dead! I just forgot to post. Anyways, heres some code that im proud of. It stops objects from spawning in tiles whete another object already is in.

This game is AWESOME!  
I got all skills and all upgrades, but the only two skills i use were dash and exit tp. The game was fairly easy but really fun. I could feel my robbing power growing.
