Check the pinned topics for good starter information. I think you should check out:

http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/109288-code-snippets-samples-for-bb-beginners/

 

It has a missile firing example.

 

Lots of incoming enemies is an advanced topic. The 2600 only has 2 hardware sprites which would normally mean you and one enemy. You can check out the Multi Sprite Kernel for more options:

You get one player sprite plus five enemy sprites.. sort of. The five extra sprites flicker if they line up horizontally with each other.

 

Lastly, you could make playfield pixels "enemies" but the playfield is pretty low res compared to normal sprites.
