There is some rather essoteric code that checks for a collision in each "alien" sprite with a number of "shot" sprites. The name of the sprite to check is constructed by joining a shot name and a number in a variable. The variable is used in a touching block. It works in Scratch but not in the applet.

Here is the some psudo code because some of the option sare not availiable with the blocks option

set PlayerShotIndex to 0
repeat 5
  change PlayerShotIndex By 1
  set PlayerShotName to  Join "PlayerShot" PlayerShotIndex
  if  Is Touching PlayerShotName
    Do some stuff
  end if
end repeat
