For Lab 2, I first changed the graphics. I wanted to have the invaders (which i made to look like the original space invaders) look different as they dropped from the screen.
So, I made the invader_mc into 4 layers, each 4 frames long. I then keyframed each layer in a successive frame and pasted and aligned a different invader into that keyframe.
I added an if statement that used math.random / math.round / gotoandstop to make the invaders look more random.
I tried to use addScore as a variable, defined as a number, then add to it using the hitTest. However, the results were varying (i traced it using the output) and didn't seem to make logical sense to me. That's basically where I left off.
