My game never Tells me who won or who lost.

I'm having trouble executing my TreehouseDefense file. For some reason, it looks like the code keeps running for at least 1 minutes, and I know it should be done in at least a second. I have to manually break out of my program with Ctrl Z.

Here's the snapshot link of my codes for anyone to look over: https://w.trhou.se/djra6hhu94

:point_right: There appears to be a logic problem in Level.cs.

You have a loop that runs while remainingInvaders is greater than zero, but it does not appear that it ever gets decremented. On the other hand, any time an invader moves but does not score, the number of remaining invaders gets increased by 1.

Did you intend to recount the remaining invaders in the invader loop? If so, perhaps you meant to reset it to zero before the loop starts.

Okay. I checked my Level.cs and noticed I didn't reset 'remainingInvaders' to zero. I added that line in there and now the game gives me the statement saying that I won. Thank you.
