Answer 1

What language are you using?

If it is JavaScript, paste your code in Sololearn and paste the link here, so we can give specific advice.

In general, what you need is

(i) Use an array to store the instance of enemies,

(ii) Run for loop over this array in each frame, or each movement.

(iii) Perform collision testing.
