[Dev-C++] Help with Game Problem

[Brian S. <blu...@at...>]

Hello,

I'm programming my first game and need a little help. Well I'm making a =
simple (well it was supposed to be simple lol) two player shooter game. =
Each player uses a series of keys on the keyboard to move/fire the ship. =
Well my first problem (that I was able to solve on my own - go me!) was =
that the ships were slowing each other down when they were both moving =
at the same time. I fixed this by placing a rest() function at the end =
of each getInput functions instead of at each key input. (I have two =
getInput()'s - One for each player) My problem now is, I'm wondering how =
to incorporate the shoot functions. I have two functions (One that =
shoots up, and another that shoots down) to handle the shooting. They =
are simple and only involve drawing a circle that increases or decreases =
its y-axis. If I place a rest() or vsync() every time it redraws, it =
hinders either ship from moving (because it is caught in that loop). How =
can I incorporate it so that the bullet can still be moving up and I =
would still be able to maneuver the ship(s) and/or fire again? Any help =
would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
