It's called fraps but the free version will only record about 30 seconds. I  used CamStudio its free and worked fine for me

Okay, I'm totally screwed and will have no game if I can't get what seems like a really simple to work.
I have the scrolling shooter, I flipped it on it's side to make it a horizontal one. Whenever enemies get past me and leave the screen they don't spawn back at the start like they should. I figured it would be a simple swap of the x and y variables and width's and heights but no...please can someone help me with this

One of the simplest ways to do waves is to refresh the room whenever everyone's dead (or a timer runs out, or a switch is pressed, etc.) and then use global variables to define things such as health, wave number.

However, I did it by making a spawn point, since I'm not familiar with global variables. It's pretty much the same, except the room doesn't get refreshed, the spawner just gets reactivated. When the spawner is done spawning, do not destroy it, as it's simpler to store the level details in that than in any other sprite.

Hey the last thing I need working is a wave spawn, does anyone know how to get waves to come in at certain times?
