So i want to keep a count how many aliens i killed. Problem is that i kill the aliens by shooting them, meaning that each laser counts by itself which doesn't count the aliens killed in total, it just keeps restarting the counter. Is there a way i can count the alien deaths in total?

I would implement a Class "Score" ( or eventually Scoreboard) and declare the variable int score in it. Implement a method in Score like addScore(int points) and use this method in Laser: Like everytime a laser object collides with an alien, alien is killed and Score.addScore(5), for example.

I would like to know if you would want to display to the player how many have been killed or if you just want to hold the value internally.
