There is a tutorial in DBP how to create a simple FPS. Use ur search b4 posting next time.

mousemove x() i think and the y one - dont know exactly.

Uhm - about 2nd q - i dno what u mean...

Sprites r 2D. And the crosshair should be at screen width() / 2, screen height() / 2...

So that isnt a real problem

It's me...

Are you talking about rotating like the spaceship in Asteroids?

In which case, you need to get the angle between the sprite and the mouse...

cos a = x/y

or in code (I think)

angle = acos(x/y)

Do you mean like, you click somewhere, and things move to where you clicked?

No. Download crimsonland and look at the way you move the player. Or if your old enough to remember the game abuse, it is also like that. In fact, I think abuse was the first game that had this type of movement.
