Fitting a cross-platform game into the tiny confines of a Wii is a lot of work. This is a reminder to myself to make a post on one of my optimizations to our usage of Lua.

Just a little bit of trickiness with keeping the current game object environment set right and all that. More later when we’re out the door.
