Hi there

Here's a very simple code showing what you requested. Hope it helps


You'll need the media too (but all you really need is a picture showing a player/power up image called "power.bmp" and "player.bmp").

i can't get it to do what i need it to.
i need it to make a ship fire faster or make it shoot multiple
bullets at the same time.

This is a great start point but my computer no likey to much.
it won't put it in my game right.
but thanks for your help!!!

It's good to hear it works

What you need is also quite easy too. But I need to know something first - is it that when you collect a certain *number* of powerups you gain a certain ability or when you collect a certain *type* of powerup? If it's the latter, then have a look at this code. It's quite simple but the essence of the need is there.

Cheers!

but this might help me too. Thanks!

Now try this code and see. You'll need a "fire.bmp" image also (which I've uploaded ).

I assume you already have WinRAR (best compression tool around). If not, you can get it at:

How big is this file by the way?

You could of course, upload on to www.dbspot.com (after registering). I can assist you with that if you want

That's okay - just go to www.dbspot.com and register and upload your files. If you need help check out my thread on "Free storage websites" (General section) and these sites for how to use FTP http://www.ftpplanet.com/ftpresources/basics.htm

Wish you luck
