I have a question about shooting bullets on to the left side of the screen. I tried implementing a bullet class and the bullets would always change direction mid air depending on which direction the player was going. For example: if i were to shoot to the right the bullets would move to the right until i move the player to the left in which case all the bullet arrays start moving left. Is there a? way to make all of my bullets keep going a certain direction? I know there's an easy way to do this and it's just going above my head. Thanks in advance. Here is my Bullet class..
#include "Bullet.h"
Bullet::Bullet(void)
{
}
Bullet::~Bullet(void)
{
}
void Bullet::Init()
{
bulletSpeed = 10;
canShoot = 1;
counter = 1;
}
void Bullet::Shoot(BITMAP *buffer, Player player)
{
if(key[KEY_SPACE] && canShoot == 1)
{
for(int i = counter; i < maxBullets; ++i)
{
bulletX = player.getX();
bulletY = player.getY();
}
++counter;
canShoot = 0;
}
if(!key[KEY_SPACE])
{
if(canShoot == 0)
{
canShoot = 1;
}
}
for(int i = 1; i <= counter; ++i)
{
if(player.getHDir() == 1) // '1' means the player is facing to the right
{
bulletX += bulletSpeed;
}
else
{
bulletX -= bulletSpeed;
}
circlefill(buffer, bulletX, bulletY, 5, makecol(15, 50, 255));
}
}
