1. 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’

2. 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 under
Actions, Create, Creatables. Your enemy should be there
