Okay, I got most of my game threshed out, and I got all my programming together, Im just missing TWO main points of code for it.

The first main point of code is this; the game is an "over the top view" shooter, so your character is in the center of the screen while you move, and the map scrolls up and down when you use WASD. I know how to make my character move, the problem is the plotting; I dont know how to make the map scroll everytime you move. Also, i cant just cycle images through animations as if I do it that way, when I add a multiplayer server, it simply wont work.

The second part of the code is this; where your character looks is controlled by the mouse. So if your mouse is to the left of your character, your character is looking left, and so on. The thing is, I have NO idea how to make your character look at the cursor, also, I dont know how to make him shoot when you click, and to have the rounds go where your mouse is pointed (where he is looking).

I am also missing one "animation" bit. Basicly, when you shoot, your bullet is in the form of a fast-moving tracer. I already have a .BMP of the tracer, the problem is, I KNOW how to make the tracer move at x speed, the problem is, if my character shoots down, the tracer is going to travel down the screen, except the tracer will be horizontal,becuase thats how it was drawn. Is it possible to change the angle of the .BMP so that it fits to the angle of firing?

Big thanks!
