@pitch: You’re right, it is pretty basic. But you can get further if you use the principles and get a little creative. For example, you could throw in a call to random() (or an “if a dice lands on one” action) to choose which alarm to set. In fact, I will add that to the tutorial. Thanks!

A nice tutorial if you’re going for bosses with fairly predictable patterns (Ala Megaman), but this doesn’t really detail how to make a boss that doesn’t (or at least is misleading enough to look like it doesn’t) follow a set pattern. Of course, if you could use a bit of coding common sense you could figure it out on your own. But it’s a very nice outline tutorial for getting into more advanced boss developement. Good job.
