Hey all, I know i've been posting alot lately but we all have to start somewhere. I'm trying to make a space invaders type clone but no matter what I try my ship just won't move. Heres what I've got so far.


after this I think its something to do with if leftkey()=1 then x+5
but I don't know how to use this to move my ship left and right.
Please help.Thanks.

why do I always get so confused?

Have you put petrol in your spaceship?

Seriously...read the help on Sprites and look at the usage examples for sprites, it's quite straight forward if you read it.
