Hey guys. My dad told me about this Stratch program, since I'm interested in video game design. 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.

just make the bullet a sprite. Make it hidden until you press a certain key. Then when you hit that key, tell it to move.

There are a lot of games around the site that do this. I'll build a simple one for you right now though.

Thanks, bro! Can you also tell me how to make it hidden, how to tell it to move, and tell me about creating hit detection? This is a huge help! smile

Hey squir3lattack. I think the best way to represent a bullet is to use a sprite. There's a good example in this project

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 is the simplest version of a bullet that hides, shoots and comes back.

I used roughly the same script for a full game,
