Remember, I'm still a gentle Noob... The game that I started as a test is coming along nicely I think.
It started out as at test so it really wasnt thought out or "themed" as some of the more professional games, just a standard shooter.
It works now with a single ship and single alien and I can even do a power up and get a second ship...
Now for my $0.10 stupid question....
How do I setup the same action for multiple alien/monsters?
if I have set up a series of actions for the monster sprite to under take, How do I setup multiple instances to use the same actions?
I tried to use the same series of action for 2 fireball-bullets, but the second bullet just sat there until I created a totally seperate series of actions for the second bullet. It seems there should be a way to reuse actions, but i'm not far enough along to have figured it out.
I'm also planning on creating an array of monster sprites because I really don't understand allocating and deallocating sprites instances on the fly. If any one wants to give me a clue before I hurt myself, I would be eternally grateful!
Thanks!
