Not a Genius on the subject but...

Load the image, and asign it to sprite
in the main loop, scan for keyboard, if keys are arrows, modify the x and y coords of the sprite. That'all about it for a movement routine.

Fire routine: when scancode is spacebar (ie) get the origin coordinates for the bullet, that's the dude's coordinates
increment the axis you fire the bullet across until it hits a boundary or an object.
the bullet routine should be in the main loop and be called only if the bullet has been shot(that could be done with a flag than puts to true when you press the fire button, and be set to false when the bullet is moving)

hope it helps

I don't know how experienced you are, but I'd like to make things really simple based on the structure of your question.

A bullet could either be a sprite (little travelling object) or an image (a stationary type graphic, that you cleverly move yourself) or even a plane (A 3D object made to look flat, and 2D.) As any of these travel accross the screen you are updating their X coordinate. If they travel upwards or downwards you are updating their Y coordinate. Diagonal and you update both at the same time. As the X/Y coordinate is changing it can be compared with the X/Y coordinate of an enemy object. This can be done by yourself, or it can be done by DBPro/DB. When the X/Y coordinate is simalar to the enemy then you change the enemy graphic into an explosion graphic, this is done by simply changing a number. This has been a very simple example of game code.
