Hey guys, I came across a problem when working on my OOP game. For some reason, my event listener for touch was starting about 2 seconds late each time after the game began when it was supposed to start straightaway. The weird thing is, the event listener for keys aren’t different experience this problem despite being in the same class, within the same method. Anyone know what’s wrong?
I posted the whole code as I’m pretty sure my event listener for touch isn’t correct so it must be something else. The shooting code part is marked by the following comment: SHOOTING CODE HERE!
