Karl,

 > I made a Space Invader Tutorial for the etoys.

That reminds me - some time ago I made a similar experiment but with one
difference which avoids having to fall back into Smalltalk programming.
The way I solved the problem of "deleting" a bullet from the screen is
that I had a holder named "ammo" which contained all the bullets.
Therefore you could replace the "bullet delete" line with a line saying
"ammo append bullet" and also limit the number of bullets a player can
fire.

Just my ^.02,
