Run your code, then check each checkpoint before moving on.

1. 1. Spawn enemies with letters.

   Tip: timed spawn pattern

   Example pattern (not the full solution):

   spawn_timer += 1
   if spawn_timer >= 30:
       spawn_timer = 0
       objects.append(make_object(random.randint(0, W - 20)))

2. 2. Type matching letters to destroy them.

   Tip: starter pattern

   Example pattern (not the full solution):

   # Add logic for this step inside your update loop
   if condition_for_step:
       # update state here
       pass

3. 3. Lose lives when enemies escape.

   Not checked
   Tip: lives system pattern

   Example pattern (not the full solution):

   if missed_target:
       lives -= 1
   if lives <= 0:
       game_over = True

4. 4. Restart with R.

   Not checked
   Tip: restart flow pattern

   Example pattern (not the full solution):

   if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN and event.key == pygame.K_r:
       # Reset key game state values
       score = 0
       game_over = False
