We can create a clone of the Enemy when we score a point by adding this logic to our Taco.

when green flag clicked
forever
	if <touching [Player v]?> then
		go to [random position v]
		change [Score v] by [1]
		create clone of (Enemy v)
	end
end

This might not give us exactly what we want, but it’s a pretty cool mechanic even if it’s not what we wanted.

Our player can also run right over the clones. But, this would be easily fixed if we moved the collision detection logic to the Player instead of the Enemy.

when green flag clicked
forever
	if <key [right arrow v] pressed?> then
		point in direction [90]
	end
	if <key [left arrow v] pressed?> then
		point in direction [-90]
	end
	if <key [up arrow v] pressed?> then
		point in direction [0]
	end
	if <key [down arrow v] pressed?> then
		point in direction [180]
	end
	if <touching (Enemy v)> then
		stop [all v]
	end
	move [10] steps
end

And then remove that code from our Enemy.

when green flag clicked
forever
	point towards [Player v]
	move [5] steps
end

Making the Clones Move

Now that our Enemy clones can end the game, we need to make them move.

when green flag clicked
forever
	point towards [Player v]
	move [5] steps
end

when I start as a clone
forever
	point towards [Player v]
	move [5] steps
end

This feels repetitive, but we can deal with that in a bit. We have a bigger problem right now. Our clones will just follow the original Enemy around.

We can solve this by moving our clone as soon as its created. In fact, we probably should do this when the game starts to.

when green flag clicked
go to x: (235) y: (180)
forever
	point towards [Player v]
	move [5] steps
end

when I start as a clone
go to x: (235) y: (180)
forever
	point towards [Player v]
	move [5] steps
end

That was kind of annoying doing it twice, right? They also converge eventually. I could fix that but I am getting real tired of doing things twice.

Instead, I’m going to Create a Custom Block.
