The October update brings several new features: grids, custom lighting, and 2D scripted UIs are now available!
• The session options now contain a new "Grid" button where you can set options for a global snap grid: it can be hexagonal or rectangular with adjustable size, offset, and rotation as well as different visibility and snap settings.
• The session options now contain a new "Lighting" button. Here you can set the color, intensity, specular intensity, and direction of the main light. The settings are stored in the game state.
• When arranging objects from the coordinates or by pressing a number button while holding a group of objects, try to keep their current arrangement as intact as possible
• Split horizontal and vertical camera sensitivity options

• Add `Player.isUsingVR` to detect whether a player is using a VR headset
• Add several methods to `GameWorld` to set and read ligthing options (for example `GameWorld.setMainLightIntensity*)
• Add new `GlobalGrid` object to read and modify snap grid properties. Accessed through `GameWorld.grid`.
• Add new `GlobalGrid` object to read and modify snap grid properties. Accessed through `GameWorld.grid`.
