Place a TTimer component on your form, set its Interval on 5000, its Enabled on False and paste this in its OnTimer event:
Code:
dxFontBonus.TextOut(dxDrawGame.Surface,300,330,'Bonus Life');
An then somewhere:
Code:
if &#40;points >= 25000&#41; and &#40;points <= 27000&#41; then
  Timer1.Enabled &#58;= True;
Hope that helps :!:
