Ive got this semi-finished game? Anyway…  
It’s got the basics, but i just want to know nothing more but how i could fire a bullet in the correct direction of the ship.  
Would it be something like duplicate a bullet at ships position, then set it to ships \_rotation, then something like:  
[AS] xSpeed += speed_Math.sin(\_rotation_(Math.PI/180));  
ySpeed += speed_Math.cos(\_rotation_(Math.PI/180));  
[/AS] ?  
I need some serious help…
