?
i was working on a pong-type game but i was told it would be a bit to complicated for a beginner. so i am now trying to write a space invaders type game. but when i shoot the enemy ship it dissapeares, but when ever i shoot a bullet in that area the explosion sprite becomes visible for a second. i tried deleting the enemy ships sprite but then when i shoot it it just dissapeares for a second. what should i do?
here's my code:
rem ship variables
xpos=0
ypos=200
rem bullet variables
bxpos=42
bypos=178
rem alien variables
axpos=100
aypos=0
rem load images
load image "ship.bmp",1
load image "bullet.bmp",2
load image "stars.bmp",3
load image "baddie.bmp",4
load image "fireball.bmp",5
do
rem set up screen
sync on
sync rate 0
hide mouse
rem ship sprite
sprite 1,xpos,ypos,1
scale sprite 1,35
rem bullet sprite
sprite 2,bxpos,bypos,2
scale sprite 2,12
hide sprite 2
rem alien sprite
sprite 3,axpos,aypos,4
scale sprite 3,25
rem explode sprite
sprite 4,axpos,aypos,5
scale sprite 4,45
hide sprite 4
rem movement
if upkey()=1 then dec ypos,3: dec bypos,3
if downkey()=1 then inc ypos,3: inc bypos,3
if leftkey()=1 then dec xpos,3: dec bxpos,3
if rightkey()=1 then inc xpos,3: inc bxpos,3
rem shooting
if spacekey()=1 then show sprite 2: dec bypos,30
rem new bullet
if bypos < 0 then bypos=sprite y(1)
rem bullet/alien collision
if sprite hit(2,3)
hide sprite 3: show sprite 4: wait 10: hide sprite 4
endif
cls
loop
(also, how can i get the enemy ship to move back and forth across the screen?)
