today i decided to do a simple shooter game so i could practice scrolling backgrounds but for some reason code that i use on a regular basis isn't working! my plan was to have the player shoot at/avoid meteorites unfortunately my code to spawn multiple meteorites is only spawning a single one.iv spent hours trying to fix it. i event opens a new page and typed up the code for that event but nothing seems to work. iv used similar code for my frogger clone and similar games. can someone please help? im sure its a noob mistake
stubborn code
Do you mind posting the code? Some people here don't trust downloads (from anybody). Plus it will be easier for people to respond to.

ok i kinda figured out the problem. i decided to add the meteorites to the all_sprites_list< ill use the space_rocks group for collision instead.
its spawning more rocks but when its set to spawn 10 it only spawn like 5 >_<
but when i set rock_number to rock number = 5 * 2 and tell it to spawn the number in rock_number it will then spawn 5 rocks or what ever number i set the multiplied number by. And collision isn't working for the meteorites when I shoot them usually one will disapear and the others aren't affected
