A small cart I've made to make my scroll shooter game development easier.

It's a pretty custom editor, and it's definitely not finished, but you might find it useful if you want to write your own editor.

If you have a good idea about improving this, please, post it down here.

I have lots of different tables for different things.
Adding functions into these tables looks like a good idea, because I can write every update or draw for every type of enemy the same way. Something like this:

for e in all(enemies) do
 e.update()
end

The only thing I want to know, is how can I address the table within it's function?
For example:

enemy =
{
 x=0,y=0,
 update = function()
  [b]--how to address these x and y variables from this update function?[/b]
  x+=1
  y+=1
 end
}

Writing something like e.update(e) seems stupid. Maybe what I'm talking about isn't even possible, I just couldn't find anything on this subject.
Thanks for any help
