Alien Invaders Typing Game

I'm trying to make a space invaders-esque game, in which you need to type words to destroy the space invader aliens. Would I need to make individual sprites for each space invader? How would I get typing to correspond to each individual invader?

Re: Alien Invaders Typing Game

To make it more official looking, it would be best to have individual sprites for each invader.

Make various (When Green Flag Clicked) tiles (or whatever your script starts with)

and put
Forever
If ([KEYBOARD LETTER-eg. A, B, etc.] Pressed)
Hide (Sprite Name of Space Invader)

If you plan to put animation:
If ([KEYBOARD LETTER-eg. A, B, etc.] Pressed)
Switch to Costume [a]
Switch to Costume [b]
and so on, then
Hide [Space Invader]

These scripts will be put onto the aliens.
