So im doing a space invaders game with some friends and we are kinda stuck on getting several waves of aliens before you win the game
but the only thing we get is that either the whole game just frezzes when you die or the new wave doesnt even spawn in

i would send the code block for the Board.java because i think it would be too much for this thread to post in but i would send it if needed

(it went into a word cause its too long)

what would be an easy way to add waves aka levels into this

Normally you'd make new waves by doing again what you did so that there would be a first wave

#

Depending on design, you may need to recreate aliens entirely, or to merely "revive" them if they were merely marked as dead

so when the amount of aliens on the first wave have died, instead of ending the game spawning in the aliens from the first wave would be a solution?

For example

would that need to be in the void update at line 282 or somewhere else?

If you want details, that will have to wait until someone goes over your entire code

Ah, indeed. I'm afraid this server is for less open-ended questions where you have an entire project people need to understand, and rather for how to solve programming problems

alright i will try it out myself the next days and i would write a thread again if i have any other problems with that

but thank you c:
