Hey, everyone on Stratch! I'm trying to make a simple shooter game and I have no idea how to represent bullets in the game. How do I represent them? Would it be wise to make them moving sprites, or something else? Help would be very appreciated.

Hey squir3lattack. I think the best way to represent a bullet is to use a sprite. There's a good example in this project
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/reedfe/2513
if you look at the "missle" sprite.
Here's an example of a game that is like a "shooter" game, but instead of using missiles or bullets, it uses spider webs -- cool

Here's another really simple example.

Look at the scripts for the arrow sprite.
When not being fired, the arrow "go to"s the bow, so even if the bow (or spacecraft, or tank etc etc) was moving, this script should still work.
