Doesn't he go through a set pattern of attacks?
Just have them go through that while he is still alive.

It's a platformer from the SNES era. What are you expecting him to do? Take cover behind a chest-high concrete wall? Use blind fire to keep you pinned and have his minions flank you?

Not really. It's just I'm unsure when he is to jump, breathe fire, or move left/right. _________________Current Demo: None! Go check it out!

basically every few seconds the game will generate a number between 0 and 1. if greater than 0.5, bowser walks right, if less than, he walks left.
the jumping and fireballs are on a set pattern that can't change.

Alright..I'll see what I can do. I know I need to do: Dim intRandom As Random ------------------------- intRandom = Rand(0,1) 'Called in Form1_Load sequence ------------ Timer1_Tick 'Various game code here Call Rand() ----------- Public Function Rand(ByVal Low As Long, _ ByVal High As Long) As Long Rand = Int((High - Low + 1) * Rnd) + Low End Function 'Within the timer, call Random during Battle And depending on said value, it should make Bowser walk left/right _________________Current Demo: None!

Well, the timer animates the game. Thus, it should hopefully call a random # being 0 or 1 each tick. Sorry if you don't know VB
