Scratch

LIST OF CURRENT GLITCHES/ISSUES:
- Engineer gives shields to people even though it has been shot and destroyed
- Blue Laser fires continuously rather than incrementally

LIST OF POSSIBLE NEW FEATURES:
- Score increase to 200 to add in additional challenges (ie: white bombers, two blue ships at once, more red ships at one time)
- White ship that launches bombs
- Title menu with made up logo, credits, and "start game" button

Thanks

Ha "only fixed some bugs"- dude, you made the dang thing work. I got a lot of basework set in, but none of it worked and I was about to scrap it and try something different. You actually made it so you can shoot things and get score and have the sprites not explode randomly. I mean, now I can focus on doing some things other than pulling my hair out at basic functionality problems, and start working on new enemies, refining how it works, etc. In other words, thanks a ton!

LIST OF NEW GLITCHES:
- EMP bomb gives huge points
- Red guys vanish
- Engineer shields on red guys make them invincible but you can still earn points on them

Yeah I'm working of fixing them. I think I know how to fix the bomb giving loads of points just by adding a "wait" command in between when it hits an enemy and when it changes the score (so the score only changes after the explosion goes away), but that still leaves the red guys- you can still score points off them even when they have the invisible shield, and for some reason they stop respawning after you bomb them, and I have no idea what's causing that

Fixed glitch with bomb giving excess points- just added a wait command of 1.5 second (the time that the bomb explosion is visible) before the change-score command, so it only applies that after the bomb disappears, thus only awarding 1 point for each ship hit with the bomb

EDIT: Also working on devising a better method for the blue ship's laser, so that it keeps up exactly with the blue ship, rather than having that huge skyscraper of code telling it to go to an exact coordinate that may or may not be in line with the blue ship. I'm trying this:

when gf clicked
repeat until <(score) > [99] >
   wait [3] seconds
   show
   set x to <(x position) of (Enemy Blue)>
   glide [0.9] seconds to x: <(x position) of (Enemy Blue)> y: [-60]
   hide

The colours of that are off (haven't tried using scratchblocks tags before), but that's what I'm trying right now. I though setting the x position in glide to the x-position of the blue enemy would make the laser glide to the exact x spot of the blue enemy, but it doesn't glide at all because it's gliding to the x-spot of where the blue ship was when it appeared. I'll keep working at it.

Shoot. That doesn't work either- it sets "Blue Position" to a single location and that never changes. Have to come up with something else...

Dude, thanks so much. I'd really like to go through and see what all you did. You're really good with this code stuff. Do you work as a programmer for a living, or is it just a fun hobby for you?

Updated information on enemy types

Link updated with newest version

I tried the fixes, but it wasn't working. The ships wouldn't leave the top of the screen, even when not in pause... is there anything else you set up besides the X destin things?

Also it's telling me that "remote sensor connections" are enabled when I open your version. Do those fit in to making the new code work?
