Hi, welcome to the forums. The only thing I can suggest is using the 'sprite collision' command instead of 'sprite hit' command.

In the handleCheckForCollision function, you are using SpriteNo in your for / next loop. Within that function, if there is a collision, you jump to the handleendgame function, which also uses SpriteNo in the for / next loop. I don't consider jumping out of a loop in a function to another function a good programming practice, especially when the for / next loops share the same name.

Why don't you check for collisions against the ship using 0, so it will report all collisions, and then check to see if the collision is one you are looking for? Example:


EDIT: Wondering if the OP will show up......

Unhelpful Titles

Please do not simply write "Noob Question", "I am a newb", "One Noobie Question", "A question", "Please help", "This isn't working" or anything similar as the title of your post. We have a search facility, and meaningless titles do not help others find answers to their questions. It will also help you to get quicker responses if people have an idea of your thread content
