hey thanks so much!!! ok here is the question in brown font...
you know even if you cant get the whole thing working its ok, any little help also will be of great help to me. thanks again

create a space invader game that allows a player to fire canon balls from a canon located on the top of a castle building that is being attacked by alietn UFOs fling randomly across the sky.A score is awarede each time a UFO is hit by a canon ball. The objctive of the game is to score as high as possible wthin the allocated time. there is no limit to the number of canon balls launched as long as the play is within the time limit.
the animation should resemble a battle ground with a historic look typical of an attack on a European castle but with UFO resembling modern spaceships.the old fashioned canon has a limited range of rotation on its barrel that allows it to fire canon ball at different angles. the force that the canon delivers to the cannon balls can be varied to increase or decrease the distance travelled by the ball. UP and Down arrow keys should be used to rotate the barrel up and down. Space key should be used to fire the cannon ball.

the cannon recoils when a cannonball is fired. smoke should emit from the barrel opening each time a cannon ball is fired. if a cannon ball hits a UFO , the spaceship should disintegrate with an explosion. a score is then awarded and updated on the scoreboard located on the wall of the castle. a countdown timer also appears on the wall.

this animation should include sliders that allow for changes to the rotation of the cannon, gravity,force that the cannon provides(thrust), the speed range of the UFOs.

Most of what you describe is very complicated on Palace.Using arrow keys combined with scripting is not possible i'm afraid.

I mean its a nice plan, but plans are easy to make, but finding someone to actually make something like this will be hard. What is it that you exactly want? Have you actually done any scripting or are you hoping someone will make this? And what have you done so far?
