Thanks, no, I want to make a boss after 5 levels, but idk how I would go about doing it. I only want 5 levels and boss in my game. seems like a lot to me for now, and thanks for the info. How can I make have more than one hit. (this is more for space invader like game)

Edit: Okay, I tired to make the pop up, but still unable to. I may be doing something wrong. How can I make it where I have three lives? Right now I have two, I have two by creating another spaceship exactly like my other one, so when first spaceship gets destory other one appears ( I want to make a delay or some message saying I lost a life).

Yes but honestly that was good but I dont like the way it was coded. Its very restrictive as far as enemy movement. But its good for beginners to learn.
