devember 30th — random spawning

Wednesday, 2015-12-30 in devlog about #gamedev, #devember, #devember2015, #hourofcode, #objc, #spritekit, #isometric

Quite a lot more than an hour of code times a few days, but the rearchitecturing is complete. Tomorrow we can move forward again, and create more complex AI behaviours for MobBrains.
