For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I don't know about game maker 7 but the basics for making a space invaders game would be:
1) Set up the array of invaders (say 6 rows of 15 aliens), set score to 0, lives to 3
2) Allow the player to move left or right and allow him to fire a bullet
3) Move the invaders and allow them to shoot
3) Check player's bullets for hitting an invader/going off the top of the screen
3a) If all invaders are shot, start a new screen.
4) Check the invader's bullets for hitting the player or going off the bottom of the screen
4a) If the player is hit, lose a life and continue. If no lives left, game over.
