Hi im new to c++ and im making a clone of space invaders, using c++ and DarkGDK. Im not sure how i would go about coding the shooting of the bullet, so that i could shoot from wherever my ship is, and also how i could fire multiple bullets after each other with having to move the bullet back down again. By this i mean that it would never "run out of ammo".

Sorry if you can't understand, ask me (ill try to rephrase it) or add me on msn at xiva@hotmail.com

Heres my code so far.

This is the class im using for the shooting. It really isn't much because im not sure what to do. Help is appreciated.

class tbullet {
	int Damage;
	int Speed;
public:
	void Move();
	void Fire (int spd, int dmg);



};

So what is basically happening when you fire some object is that it is fired from an initial position, travels in 2D and collides with an alien, or with a wall.

So, basically you need a class like yours, but with a few more variables.

Something along the lines of

class Bullet
{
	 public:
		  int damage; // in case some bullets are stronger than others?
		  int speed;	// speed of the bullet (usually in pixels)
		  int position[2] // position vector.
		  bool alive;	  // Useful for determining when to draw the bullet
		  // have another variable for the sprite
		  Bullet(/* load sprite here when you call this */);	// Constructor
		  void UpdatePosn();  // Updates the position
		  void Fire();		   // Fires the bullet
};

Hope this helps!

class Bullet
{
	 public:
		  int damage; // in case some bullets are stronger than others?
damage = 100 //????
		  int speed;	// speed of the bullet (usually in pixels)
speed = 3.0f // ?????
		  int position[2] // position vector. Whats this for ?????
		  bool alive = true;	  // Useful for determining when to draw the bullet
		  // have another variable for the sprite
		  Bullet(/* load sprite here when you call this */);	// Constructor how do i load a sprite ???
		  void UpdatePosn();  // Updates the position
		  void Fire();		   // Fires the bullet
//How do i "initiate this" ??
};

I hope thats right. Or am i getting the wrong end of the stick ??
