This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much.

I want my enemies to randomly fire at my player, with a maximum of 2 times per each enemy.

You see, they are moving in and out of the screen, I want them to fire twice each time they are on screen, then travel off screen. I dont want them to fire twice in a row though, it should be random.

Any suggestions. I haven't seen any tutorials on enemy fire if someone would like to point on out to me though, I'd much appreciate it.

Thank you for the suggestion. The tutorial was very helpful in many aspects of the game I am currently making. However it did not address this question at all.

I want the enemies to have a point value, and upon destruction have those points added to a score. Which would then be displayed in the UI.

The tutorial showed me how to make a health point value but not a point value.

Ok, thank you, I will.

UPDATE: Problem solved. I double clicked my layout and it all showed up again.

UPDATE: I went into my objects tab and I see all of my sprites.

Where did My CAP go. I opened up my file today and there is absolutely nothing in it. It is like a new file! Does anyone know where it went or how to recover it.

How do I make my enemy's have point values when they are destroyed? and a score tracker?

Thanks for everyones help. I got it exactly how I wanted it with the 8 way directional, and then removing the rotate and up and down.

This is my first game and I know I'm going to need a lot of help so thank you in advance.

Perfect, Thanks!

I did look at Sin, it is what im using to make the boat bob in the water. It should be left and right, like the paddle in breakout or arkanoid.

Please do not yell at me, this is my first project.

I am trying to give a boat behavior on a 2d plane.

It does not turn, it does not go up or down, I just want it to go left and right.

Does anyone know how I can do this?
