Here is what I have so far:



The problem is, nothing shoots out at all, the window just closes (I assume a crash).

Your main loop should be:



or



The DarkGDK requires the call to 'LoopGDK' to execute properly. The 'LoopGDK' will exit when the escape key is pressed, unless you disable it. Since you aren't calling that function, the program pretty much ends immediately.

I still get the same result, it just ends the application when space is pressed.

I just noticed that you are using fYPos in the while loop before you initialise it.

Try this:

That's because (I think) the entire action takes place between one dbSync call and the next.

You need to set up something a bit more complex:
1. the space bar initiates shoot and sets the start position and set a flag to indicate shooting.
2. each dbSync cycle after, check the object's position, if not at end, move it. if at end, clear flag to check status.
