add acceleration to enemies. add this i nthe same global variables as the rest of the variables. ensure this acceleration only persists for the enemy created, once destroyed, any new created enemy starts from the base speed

Ensure that any change in the game's state that affects enemy spawning (like score increase or enemy destruction) correctly recalculates maxEnemies and assesses whether a new enemy should spawn. Game State Checks: Include checks or logs to verify that maxEnemies increases as expected with the score and that numEnemies reflects the current expectation for spawned enemies.

User prompt

When an enemy is destroyed (moves off-screen or is intersected by the player), ensure it's removed from the enemies array. This removal should correctly decrement the count, allowing for new enemies to spawn if the count is below maxEnemies. Spawning After Removal: After an enemy is removed, especially due to going off-screen or collision, validate whether the logic immediately allows for a new enemy to spawn if the conditions are met (score threshold and maxEnemies).

Review and adjust the conditions within spawnEnemy to ensure they correctly reference maxEnemies and numEnemies. The check should confirm whether the current number of enemies (enemies.length) is less than maxEnemies before spawning a new enemy. Side Alternation Logic: Confirm that the alternation of spawn sides doesn't interfere with the decision to spawn a new enemy. The alternation should be a separate concern from the check on whether to spawn.

User prompt

Make sure maxEnemies is updated correctly within the player's score update logic. It should increase as the score reaches each new 10-point threshold. Expected Behavior: After the score surpasses 30, maxEnemies should be updated to reflect the new threshold reached, allowing for more enemies to spawn.

User prompt

the spawning logic for enemies works correctly but only up until 30 points, then it stops generating enemies. this logic should continue indefinitely, so if at 10 points one 1 enemy is generated, and at 30 3 enemies are on the screen, at 80 points there should be 8 enemies

there's a bug where 2 enemies are spawned when the score is 10. only a single enemy should spawn at 10 score

User prompt

Introduce a New Mechanism: You could use a more explicit method to track the last side from which an enemy was spawned and then alternate based on this, rather than calculating it anew each time based on the current score. This could involve a simple toggle flag that flips each time an enemy is spawned. 3. Ensure Correct Initial Conditions Since the first enemy should spawn from the right at 10 points, ensure that the initial condition for spawning is set to meet this requirement. Set Initial Spawn Side Correctly: Make sure the game starts with the understanding that the first spawn side should be the right, and then it alternates from there. 4. Clarify the Enemy Count Condition It seems there might also be a misunderstanding in how the number of enemies (numEnemies) to be spawned is calculated. Ensure this calculation only results in an additional enemy being spawned at the correct milestones (every 10 points) and does not inadvertently double count.

User prompt

1. Rethink the Alternation Logic The fundamental flaw seems to be in how the alternation is being calculated. If enemies are spawning from both sides after reaching just 10 points, it indicates that the condition for deciding the spawnSide is too simplistic or not aligned with the score milestones. 2. Adjust the Spawn Side Calculation Instead of relying solely on whether the score divided by 10 is even or odd, you should more directly tie the spawn side to the exact milestones you're aiming for (10 points for the right, 20 for the left, and so on).

User prompt

there's a bug where the game spawns 2 enemies per 10 points instead of 1. fix it

User prompt

You could maintain a variable or set of flags that track whether an enemy for each 10-point milestone has been spawned. This way, you ensure that for each milestone, only one enemy is spawned, and then you wait until the next milestone before spawning another.

User prompt

Instead of calculating numEnemies as Math.floor(LK.getScore() / 10) + 1, which inherently increases the number of enemies directly proportional to the score, you should base the spawning condition on achieving score milestones (10 points, 20 points, etc.) without directly linking it to the number of enemies to spawn at each milestone.

User prompt

Adjust the function so that it first checks if spawning an enemy is necessary (based on the score reaching the next 10-point threshold without an enemy having already been spawned for that threshold) and then determines the correct side based on whether the current score dictates a spawn from the right or left. This adjustment involves using a more refined condition that combines the score and the number of enemies spawned to decide both if a new enemy is needed and from which side it should come.

User prompt

The way numEnemies is calculated and used causes an enemy to spawn from each side when the score reaches 10 because it does not take into account the alternating side requirement explicitly. Instead of relying on enemies.length, use the score directly to decide the spawn side. For scores 10-19, spawn from the right; for scores 20-29, spawn from the left, and so on. This method requires a calculation that directly relates the score to the spawn side, ensuring that only one new enemy is added for each 10-point increment and alternates the spawn side correctly.

User prompt

Before calling spawnEnemy from within the interval or after an enemy's destruction, verify that the game's state (e.g., score) still necessitates the spawning of a new enemy. Additionally, ensure that the side alternation logic is consistently applied in all scenarios.

User prompt

Use a different strategy to determine spawnSide that takes into account the total number of enemies spawned so far or uses a more nuanced approach with the score to ensure accurate alternation. One approach could be to alternate based on the number of times enemies have been spawned after reaching the initial 10 points.
