HTML5 Game Development with Phaser Lesson 7 - Firing bullets

What Will I Learn?

• You will learn how to set the velocity of the bullet shot by the player.
• You will learn how to set the angle of the bullet to be the same as the angle of the player.
• You will learn how to increase the time between each bullet so not too many bullets are shot at once.

Requirements

• Any text editor, preferably one with syntax highlighting for HTML & CSS (e.g. Adobe Dreamweaver, Notepad ++).
• Any web browser (preferably Google Chrome).
• I used the Windows operating system but you should be able to do this in Mac.
• You can test your files locally or you can upload to a server and test. If you want to upload to a server, you will need Web hosting as well as an FTP client to upload files (Adobe Dreamweaver has FTP functionality built in).
• You need to have downloaded Phaser (this was explained in lesson 1).

Difficulty

• Intermediate
  You should already have some understanding of Javascript as the Phaser library is built on Javascript. You should already have done the previous tutorials in Phaser.

Description
