The document provides instructions for creating a countdown timer, spawning enemies, and a Kodu challenge to make a game with those elements. It explains how to create a 'referee' object to track time remaining, program it to subtract one second each turn from the start time. It also describes how to create an enemy, make it 'creatable', and program a spawning object to create enemies using a timer. The challenge is to make a game with a score, timer, spawning enemies, objectives, and clear win/lose conditions in an interesting world.

- 1. Creating a countdown timer First create a ‘referee’ object. Trees are good for this Then program the ‘referee’ First line: Sets up the start time Second line: Subtracts one each second From the ‘World’ menu item you can set the score visiblity to ‘quiet’
- 2. Spawning enemies First create one enemy. Get it just right. Not too hard, not too easy From the enemy’s ‘Change Settings’ menu, set to ‘Creatable’ Now it won’t appear in the game unless you create it Create a new object – a spawner – Saucers are good for this. Program it to wander around And use a timer to create enemies. You’ll find the action under Actions, Create, Creatables. Your enemy should be there
- 3. Kodu Challenge Make a game that: • Includes a score and a timer • Has enemies that spawn • Has objectives • Has a clear win and lose outcome • Takes place in an interesting world
