This is my first attempt at coding anything really and I did alright up until the bullets. I keep getting this Expecting EndIf error when i run the code, but im not seeing where its needed. ;set graphics Graphics 640, 480, 16, 2 ;creat timer timer=CreateTimer(30) ;loading player images img_object = LoadImage("object.png") img_bullet = LoadImage("bullet.png") ; bullet type Type bullet Field x Field y End Type ;setting start coords x = 320 y = 340 ;set drawing buffer to back buffer SetBuffer BackBuffer() ;Start main loop While Not KeyDown(1) ;Clear screen Cls ;Draw player DrawImage img_object,x,y ;Update player positioin If KeyDown(203) Then x = x - 3 If KeyDown(205) Then x = x + 3 ; firing bullets If KeyHit(57) Then b, bullet = New bullet b\x = x b\y = - 5 EndIf ;update bullets and draw them For b, bullet = Each bullet b\y = b\y - 5 DrawImage img_bullet, b\x, b\y If b\y < 0 Then Delete bullet Next ;waite timer WaitTimer(timer) ;Flip drawing screen to monitor Flip ;end main loop Wend End

Well, you have "b, bullet" twice, which should both be "b.bullet" - that might be the problem. It's probably confusing the compiler. [edit] this is the blitzmax forum but you seem to be using blitzplus or blitz3d. Last edited 2012
