Hi All,

I'm trying to make a basic Space Invaders game (with a Star Wars theme ) but i'm having trouble getting the enemy sprite(s) to appear on screen and move (you know how they do - across then down a bit then across etc.) All i get is a really tiny dot moving where the enemy sprite should be. If anyone could check my code and give me a few pointers it'd be a real help.

Cheers,
Dave.

Change SPRITE N, EnemyX(N), EnemyY(N), SpriteNum(N)
to SPRITE N, EnemyX(N), EnemyY(N), 1

The problem here is that you tried to create sprites from non-existing images. As all your sprites use the same image, they use the same image number. The image number for the enemies you use is 1, but for each enemy it increased in your code.

Whatever I did I didn't do it!
