Question

OK guys, Im writing this game, and i can't seem to figure out one thing. This is an extra fun thing that one of my Profs suggested. If i get it working like i want..he may give me extra credit. So heres the problem. This is a game where 2 guys(icons), move through a map and can lay bombs and shoot at each other. the players move using the arrow keys and a,w,d,x. they lay bombs using pageup and "f". They shoot using j and t. What i need to figure out is how to allow them to move while the laser is shooting. The laser uses a loop, and in order to move, the loop has to finish. If you have any ideas..id love to hear them. Thanks!

hi... i really want to help.. but can u please next time use indention in your codes.. so its easy to read..

actually i think i know ur problem..

i encountered it when im still doing C games..

but its hard to explain the solution i did. i just hope u understood.

first.
wat i did is make a infiniteloop or the main loop, it calls the
paintBAckground
paintPLAYERS
PAintAccesories(laser,other moving pieces)
and otheres..

the key there is to have a array that hold the position of each unit, players, lasers so u can paint it anytime u want it..

i hope u undrstand..

regards to your game
