Ive created a player and a bullet to shoot from his general area, the problem is that the bullet wont move like it should, when you press the spacebar its created and moves forward alittle bit then stops unless you hold down the spacebar, then it will loop through its cycle.

need help figuring out why it stops, ive read the Dark Invaders tutorial and many others

try doing it like this:

+ Code Snippet

bool shooting = false;
bool spacedown = false;

while ( LoopGDK ( ) )
{
    //...
    //..
    if ( dbSpaceKey() && !shooting )
        spacedown = true;
    if ( !dbSpaceKey() && spacedown )
    {
        spacedown = false;
        shooting = true;
    }
    if ( shooting )
    {
        BulletX+=5;
        if ( BulletX > 810 )
        {
            BulletX = 5;
            shooting = false;
        }
    }
    dbSprite ( 3, BulletX, y, 3 );
}

nice, thank you. got it going.

now i'm trying to get the Bullet to shoot from my Player always.
I give the Bullet the Xpos of the Player but it just freezes the Bullet.
