Bullets

[frankdev]

Just was fooling around with a little bit of a pvp "shooter" and I couldn't really think of a good bullet function. Right now, you fire, and once the bullet leaves the screen, you can fire again. I would prefer a rapid firing system where you hold down the key and it fires over and over. 

 

I am a beginner and I have ordered some of those books

 

The game is here: www.lionela.site90.com

 

Controls: WASD and Q fire and Arrow Keys and Space fire

Here take one:

But as you made, one bullet to be shot just call the function again or make a logic like this:

 

if ("space" is pressed) {

game.firebullet();

}

 

and with this in the game loop as long as the space is pressed the bullets will fire.

 

Also as you say that you are new, it good practice to make a pool of objects like 100 bullets and reuse them,

or if you don 't do this  at least destroy your bullet once it left the game view port.

 

And as I saw you are using CraftyJS check this game's code:

There a lot things you could just pick off
