Shooter Demo

Its looking good. I did find one issue I was going through the Shooter Demo and putting in the script. When I tried to run i kept getting errors and it wasn't working the way it was supposed to. I figured out what the problem was though.
On page 14 of the tutorial is says to add the following
exec("./gameScripts/player.cs");
in game.cs I did and that was the problem. It would keep looking for the file in "gameScripts/gameScripts/player.cs".
So I just changed it to this
exec("./player.cs");
and it worked fine.

Edit: I just changed the document and commited the new version...it should be correct in all of the subsequent releases. Thanks again for the catch!

Yea, sorry about that, we decided to change the exec statements to exec from game .cs (originally they were in main.cs) and I guess I missed updating that one.

it was changed because startGame is a more appropriate place to execute it. theres no need to load player.cs until the game actually starts. plus, you exec player.cs in startGame, the script will be recompiled every time the game is run (rather than every time the project is opened as in initializeProject), which makes modifying the code much more convinient as you dont have to close and reopen TGB every time you make a change.
in any case, youre absolutely right.
