[F8] possible hittest?

okay guys, quick question.

i'm currently working on this game which requires the player to shoot down objects that hits the screen with the mouse cursor. these obstacles will increase in size gradually (from the distance) before it comes in 'contact' with the screen, so as to give the illusion of distance.

problem is, how do i decrease the speed of the obstacles travelling towards the player? so that he will have more time to shoot 'em down / react before they actually hit the screen.

thanks!

how do you have the speed set up currently?

You could try to EASE the movement to slow down as it gets closer.

Thanks for the reply!

What do you mean by easing the movement?

Motion - By animating.

Also, is there a way I could randomise the appearance of the obstacles hitting the screen? Such that as the game progresses, the no. of obstacles hitting the screen increases.
