another update to help with shot collision detection, and shot length now one pixel speeds up the screen redraw

more updates, including a bonus to shoot at for 1000 points, new life at 10000, enemies disappear when shot and respawn. Each level up creates another enemy!

reuploaded with improved game play and multiple enemies

Next update will be to have level up after scoring say 1000 points, and then the number of enemies will increase. Also want to actually destroy and respawn enemies when hit. Number or lives will also increase by one every 10000 points.
