Hey i was wondering how i could do the following, i have tried on my own but stumble every single time!

In this game you have to stay away from two “enemies” for as long as you can!

Make different setting Easy, Medium, Hard, INSANE!!!

basically it will make the player and enemies move faster with each different increase in speed.

formatted ---- transition.to(player,{time=1000, x=event.x, y=event.y}) ---- That is how it is now, how can i make it change with different settings?

  1. How can i make a timer and buttons that will show how long the player has been alive, and pausing and displaying the time on the game over screen, also restarting the timer once the player hits restart. I have not even started this because i do not get it at all and the tutorials aren’t helping much. Thanks!

  2. One Last thing, I am trying to switch in between scenes but it doesn’t seem to be working, I am using director so i think i might switch over to Storyboard and try it with that.

“basically it will make the player and enemies move faster with each different increase in speed.”

How about a variable (global, or in an app class, or whereever you store these) which is called speedFactor and in the beginning it’s set to 1, and then you always do time = 1000 * speedFactor. Then to increase the game difficulty and speed you could set speedFactor to .5, and so on, meaning the transitions will be faster.
