Instead of having a gµn like all action characters do, I believe it will save you more time if you just have a character who can control elements or something. Also, don't use a default sprite for your main character.
well I could barely make the gun sprite, because my screen is all off and its hard to place things
like if I touch
1st ^ is where I touch, 2nd ^ is where is would be.
