Need Help Coding Attack in Game

[TheDracoWave]

Please help me. I am a newbie programmer trying to get my feet wet and I really have no clue as to code attack in my game.

You will have to provide more information for anyone to offer help.

Watch a tutorial in the genre of your game for help.

Is your attack shooting a bullet or kick or sword or spell or ..........???????

It’s like asking “help me get to the store”. But don’t tell us where you are or what store you are going to.

If your shooting, simplest way is to create a bullet object. If you doing melee I'd suggest using a collision rectangle.

Either way there are lots of tutorials on the subject, have a browse on YouTube and do the one that seems to match your goals best.
