how would you make a CPU (Computer Character like playing against you.)

That's quite a statement. It's not that easy.

Let me give you a basic rundown of an AI (Artificial Intelligence) system.

1) First, make sure your AI and main character are different.
2) Second, write down what you want your AI to do.
3) Third, code your AI character. Here are some examples:
- If you want the AI character to follow you, give it a Bouncing Ball movement and make it move in the direction of your character.
- If you want the AI character to shoot at you, you can make different timings with the Timer and have it shoot another Active object at the main character at different intervals.
4) Debug. Make sure everything works properly.

Remember, if you want a much more advanced AI system, it will use up more RAM (Memory) and will involve much, much more coding.

It wouldn't use up any more RAM (not that you would notice, anyway), it would use up more processing power. Even then it is very unlikely MMF2 would struggle too much.

Dines just posted a great article on objects safely following the player. It's a great help for things like this.
