You should have some picboxes (depending on if/how many shots can be there simultaneously) and set them invisble. Move them along with the ship. When you fire, make one of them go visible and move it up the screen. About the code for this... I don't know how picboxes work and I'm lazy, so I won't test it here but it's not that hard.

It's game theory.

You have to keep track of it in memory, and plot a course for it. You'll probably only need the X and Y coordinates of it, and it's increment factor.

This method requires you redraw everything on the form at a certain frame rate.

After a certain time take the X and Y memory coordinates and apply them to the pixel drawing function.

Form1.PSet (X, Y), color

And clear the form
From1.Cls

And redraw everything.
