    When you boot the computer, go into setup and set the repeat delay to 500ms.
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.

    What you can do is have a global variable that has the time of when the space bar(or shoot button) is pressed. So when they press it, it checks if the time difference between now and the last time they pressed it is greater than half a second. If its greater than the half a second (or whatever value is reasonable) then shoot the bullet and set the variable to the current time.

    Also make sure you only check the the shoot button is pressed when you are checking the difference in the times, or they wont be able to control the ship very well lol.

    What code? What language are you using? We need some more information than just "show me code".
