Multiple enemy array in LibGDX
- by johnny-b
I am trying to make a multiple enemy array, where every 30 secods a new bullet comes from a random point. And if the bullet is clicked it should disapear and a pop like an explosion should appear. And if the bullet hits the ball then the ball pops.
so the bullet should change to a different sprite or texture. same with the ball pop.
But all that happens is the bullet if touched pops and nothing else happens. And if modified then the bullet keeps flashing as the update is way too much.
I have added COMMENTS in the code to explain more on the issues.
below is the code.
if more code is needed i will provide.
Thank you
