  You need to make the textbox bigger, so the text will show.

  You can add subsequent Else conditions.

  You should NOT use Wait for this, just have On touch as the top event, then use sub-events to break down the extra conditions:

  On touched object "UpButton"

  System | Upgrade = 0

  Money >= 30____________________|___System | Set Upgrade to 1

  Else

  System | Upgrade = 1

  Money >= 100____________________|___System | Set Upgrade to 2

  choose(1,2) would be simpler.

  Read the manual for random - 2 will never actually be reached. int(random(1,3)) would give you 1 or 2.

  Sorry, ignore the Bullet. I was going to use it then changed my mind. I don't know how you were moving your sprites - that doesn't need to change. The key point is to jump relative to the current position.

  Having them the same height makes live easier, otherwise you'd need to trigger each from it's critical position. Triggering off of an adjacent one just makes life harder.

  Here's an example. I don't have your same dimensions, but you get the idea. You want to move relative to the current position, not to an absolute position, as the movement isn't always by one pixel. If the movement is by, say 3 pixels at a time, you have to compensate for that. The easiest way is to move relatively.

  Don't set them to 0, subtract your max value. IE: Field2 Subtract 1024.

  You can get rid of the Trigger once., it won't help.

  Not sure why you are checking Field1, but moving Field2 ?!

  You need to do some of the tutorials, otherwise you won't get far, and get frustrated when things don't work.

  This is almost always because you are playing the sound every tick. Make sure the sound only plays once. IE: On start of layout.

  Yes, 'every x seconds' runs from the beginning of the game, not the layout. Use a timer, and you have full control over when it starts -> On start of layout, start timer.

  I'm guessing the bounding box just isn't big enough. Click on it and use the sizing controls to make it longer.
