Code: Select all

if level end then
         table.remove(shot)
end

Re: Moving the enemies

Here is my little code:

Code: Select all

bullet = love.graphics.newImage("bullet.png")

fired = false

if keyboard.isDown('space') then
bulletX = playerX
bulletY = playerY
fired = true
end

if fired == true then
   love.image.draw (x,y,bullet)
   x=x+3
   if x>= 630 then
      fired=false
   end
end

Re: Moving the enemies

Ok i think i got it, one thing i notice is that after some loop thru the screen the enemies slows down like a pixel thru screen and it takes too much to get off.
