Space Invaders

[Azzy]

I'm trying to make a Space Invaders game but I got a problem. If I use a procedure for the gun, everytime you shoot your ship thing disappears and then reapears after the shot is gone. If I use a process, the ball goes flying up extremely fast and then begins to slow down. Can someone please help me solve this problem so I can continue on?

code:

var x := 320 var gunx : int var guny := 30 var chars : array char of boolean process gun     loop         Draw.FillOval (gunx, guny, 5, 5, black)         delay (10)         Draw.FillOval (gunx, guny, 5, 5, white)         guny := guny + 1         exit when guny = 480     end loop     guny := 30 end gun loop     Input.KeyDown (chars)     Draw.FillOval (x, 30, 10, 10, red)     delay (5)     Draw.FillOval (x, 30, 10, 10, white)     if chars (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) then         x := x - 1         if x <= 10 then             x := x + 1         end if     elsif chars (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) then         x := x + 1         if x >= 625 then             x := x - 1         end if     elsif chars (KEY_CTRL) then         gunx := x         fork gun     end if end loop

There are around 50 topics regarding shooting. Also, use View.Update and dont use the processes, they screw your CPU up and have bugs.[/code]

Dont use processes. Make ur shoot procedure use the main loop and keep track of it with a counter.
