Does anyone know how to get sprites to move?

By manipulating variables that later will be used to locate the sprite onscreen: IF BUTTON(1) AND #RIGHT THEN INC PX IF BUTTON(1) AND #LEFT THEN DEC PX SPOFS 2,PX,PY

NVM, I found a tutorial about moving. But I do need to know how to make a laser fire from a space ship.

That's also relative easy. If by laser you mean a big laser that goes into infinity: Just spawn it using the player coordinates. If you mean individual projectiles: Same as above but after spawn it, on each frame, increase the offsets of every single projectile so they will still move independently of the player.

How exactly do I move a single bullet?

The most generic ones: - Using arrays (recommended). - SPOFS alone. Quick example: I check a certain range of sprites ID and check if one of those IDs is actually being used on a sprite. If there's a sprite with such ID, i extract his X and Y values (by using SPOFS), increase either X or Y, and relocating the sprite using the new coordinates.

but that moves the bullet to one location. I need it to gradually travel across the screen.

Depends on how you implement it. The algoritm archieve that gradual movement, just visualize it: Let's suppose that the X value of a projectile which ID is 7 is 2 (X=2). On the first frame, X is increased by using the algoritm, now X is 3. Later on the next frame, the same algoritm is used, but since X is no longer 2 but 3, it will increase to 4, and so on...

Here's a dummy code i have on my stack. It used the algoritm i explained ealier.

Thanks SO much, but I'm using a long beam instead. I will definitely use this for another project.

SECXE2KE is my throw shovel demo, it might help.
