Just an FYI, you can press the space bar to fire missles and press the mouse button to blow them up. You can not shoot lasers while missiles are fired.
My final revision of the test I made at lunch today. I made the game a little easier and added missiles with AoE effect.
This is a very simple construct I'd expect most beginers to grasp quickly and put into motion in their own projects. I tried to put most key and mouse events inside the Stage and then use sprite events to control what happens with the sprites. The only thing I wish I could do is spawn new instances of sprites, but this is only a learning tool so I suspect that is too complicated to be included.
In any case, I really love this tool. It is a great way to introduce people to basic concepts. I hope to use it in my classes.
Controls: Mouse Move, Space for Missles, click to shoot and detonate missiles.

It was just a test I did when scratch came out. I just searched and found some cheesy graphics on the web.
you just copied sprites from galaga! that's cheap!
Is that IT?

Most of the changes are just cleaning up the code, fixing little bigs and annoyances, and the sound.
I don't see any difference between this one and the quick test besides sound. Because of the sound I prefer this one.
what is the missles remaining about?

I uploaded a slightly changed version that has music and sound effects plus fixes a bug that could cause you to win without killing all the bad guys.
