massive problem

The following code is the entire file, btw, so don't worry.
var
    player
    
mob
    var
        score = 0



mob
    Login()
        player = "[usr.key]"
        usr << "This is a single-player game, do not host. The player is [player]."





world/New()
  ..()
  spawn() ClosePorts()

proc/ClosePorts()
  set background = 1
  while(1)
    if(world.port)
      world.OpenPort("none") //closes any open ports
      
mob
    enemy
        icon = 'enemy.dmi'
        wander = 1
        Click()
            usr.score += 1
            world << sound('gun.wav')
            
mob
    var/wander
    New()
        if(wander) walk_rand(src)
        ..()
        
turf
    grass
        icon = 'grass.dmi'
    spawner
        icon = 'spawn.dmi'
        proc/Respawn()
            for()
                new/mob/enemy(usr.loc)
            spawn(20) Respawn()
        New()
            spawn() Respawn()
    caller
        icon = 'call.dmi'
        Bump(O)
            player.score -= 1
            del(O)


The following are the errors:

Aracade.dm:59:error:player.score:undefined var
Aracade.dm:58:error:Bump :undefined proc

Player.score is not defined. Use usr.score, which you have defined. I'm not sure about the Bump(), but it seems to work fine when it's a child of objs and mobs.

Well, that's fixed, but nothing spawns. All you see is a map with grass, the spawner, and the caller. The enemies aren't created.

Bump() is only defined for movable atoms, so it doesn't work for turfs.

mob
Bump(O)
if(istype(O, /turf/caller))
src.score -= 1


Also, this code is problematic (under spawner):

for()
new/mob/enemy(usr.loc)

I'm not sure what the behavior is of for() without any arguments. It is either going to execute continuously forever, or not at all. I doubt either is what you want.

In addition, usr is meaningless here. There is no usr set, so usr.loc will be an unpredictable value. Who were you expecting usr to be here?

You probably want something closer to this:

proc/Respawn()
new/mob/enemy(location)
spawn(20)
Respawn()

But you're going to have to supply a good value for location. I'm not sure where you the respawn to occur.

You can't use usr in Bump()--not reliably.
The reason player.score is coming up undefined is totally unrelated to this.

I can explain your undefined player.score error. This is happening because when you defined var/player, you didn't define it as a mob:
var/mob/player

DM thinks the global player var could be anything, so it doesn't recognize player.score as valid because it can't be sure that player is a mob.

The game won't start.
