Creating a countdown timer

First create a ‘referee’ object. Trees are good for this

Then program the ‘referee’

First line: Sets up the start time

Second line: Subtracts one each second

From the ‘World’ menu item you can set the score

visiblity to ‘quiet’

Spawning enemies

First create one enemy. Get it just right. Not too hard, not too easy

From the enemy’s ‘Change Settings’ menu, set to ‘Creatable’

Now it won’t appear in the game unless you create it

Create a new object – a spawner – Saucers are good for this.

Program it to wander around

And use a timer to create enemies. You’ll find the action underActions, Create, Creatables. Your enemy should be there
