  Array.IndexOf only works in X. You can't use it for a two dimensional array.

  You are trying to use groups like a function, that won't work. Change the trigger to SpriteFont:On created. That then calls the code immediately after the Create call.

  You don't need 0=0, use either "Every tick", or a blank sub-event would have done the same thing.

  Here's a start. Before anyone calls me out for writing this students program for him, many C2 users struggle with arrays, so this mainly sets the pattern for indexing into arrays and indexing into strings. There's still plenty to do.

  The wait can go, I think. That was part of my flailing with the Create issue.

  You are using a single global variable for the worms. You should be using an instance variable for each worm.

  Creating Family objects always produce a random object. You need to decode and create the specific object.

  The trick here is always to test against different objects. Either test Family against Sprite, or make a second duplicate family to test against.

  It's the annoying "can't pick until next top level event" feature of C2 getting in the way. Using visibility instead of create/destroy makes things easier.

  Triggers happen outside of the event loop so you can't use them as conditions as you did in 17,21,27. They generally need to be top level, and you do you logic below it. This is closer to what you want: event 43.

  In 46, you need to release and then re-target. You may need to shuffle for your rules.
