Just before the "Putting It All Together" is the last of the Orbit Assault game code. The is a typo just before $("draw-target").append...

Code says:
setTimeout(gameLoop, 15);
}();

This should be:

setTimeout(gameLoop, 15);
};


I verified this by viewing the source of http://www.professorcloud.com/supercharged/orbit-assault/orbit-assault.htm.

Thanks for the book. I've learned a lot from it that I can use day-to-day.

Page 60 - about a third of the way down the page in the code sample, there is a for loop that states:

for (i = tilesW; i; i--) {
}

What is tilesW? That variable is not referenced anywhere else in the code sample and appears to come from no where. I put a break point on the code and it never gets hit anyway so no errors occur.

Note from the Author or Editor:
The tilesW variable in the loop initialization should actually be tilesAcross.

for (i = tilesW; i; i--) {

}
