I am making a top down scifi shooter game. I have looked at the code from Jumenrun but I can not get it to work using Pong as a base for my top down view. How do I set my player to be able to shoot?

Thank you in advance!

Are you asking how to bind controls to capture a "shoot" action?
Are you asking how to have the screen follow the player in top-down-shoot fashion?
Are you asking how to move a "bullet" entity in a specific direction?
What are you asking?

Ok I understand the bind controls. The issue I am having is spawning the bullet and making it move.

I want it to spawn when the player hits space and travel in which ever direction the player is facing until it hits a collision and dies, or hits an enemy and dies.
