how do you make sprites transparent.
If you are using PNGs or GIFs, you set the transpency in the image editor.

how do you make enemy ai
Easiest method is a "Finite State Machine". Google it, read about it. It is not a simple subject.

how do you make objects that you have to jump over(cannot just walk past them.
