Hour 5 Game major bugs

[KoopHauss]

I'm able to run the game but, have no clue how to fix the bugs that are happening. I've gone through all the finished scripts both sets, and cannot find any errors or differences that I didn't already fix in the coding. here are the bugs:

• ship and asteroid don't interact. At all.
• shot doesn't queue free after connecting with the asteroid.
• asteroids do not spawn and the one asteroid that is on screen does not move.
• explosion scene doesn't queue free after destroying the asteroid.
• score counter counts even after shot(s) leave the screen, but not at all when destroying the one
  asteroid. And explosion animation appears at the end of the screen where the shot exited the screen
  and also doesn't queue free.
• Appears to be only the top laser that effects the score counter.
• Holding space is infinite shoot. (not solid laser beam)
• counter doesn't count by +1 ( as the counter counts the shots leaving the screen, the counter will
  sometimes increase by a couple to several hundred points)

@KoopHauss you are not alone. I also have some problem of my own:

From Listing 5.9 (Spawning Asteroids and tracking the Score). I have some major problems which hugely affect the game's performance:

• Instances of asteroids won't move anymore. They just stay at the edge of the screen doing nothin. And the laser shots won't affect any of the instance of the asteroids but the ship is able to collide with the asteroids instances and explode

• The score is not incrementing as I destroy any asteroids.

• In the debugger error section. One of the error (probably the main problem) states that: " Attempting to connect nonexistent signal "score" to Node2D......

• I checked multiple times of my scripting and my signals and everything seems perfectly fine to me.

Hopefully someone can give me the correct solution to this problem. Thanks a [lot.](url

So the book didn't tell you to do this, but you need to assign player, shot and asteroid to groups of the same name in the Node panel. Hope this helps and btw, I know I'm late!

Same issue here.. it works in the example code without a script in the "explosions" node. But I don't get how to connect to a function "queue_free" without a script. Getting "no script at all" in the connect signal dialogue.
