for the shoot part, sorry but idk.

A quick update: The enemies dont shoot but I have updated the game. There is a working katana and cutscenes. There’s a cutscene when you die and if you reach 55 score https://makecode.com/_i4VhjzfkxPVf

over all i have a good solution for all of you
im makecode arcade there is a squareRoot() block
well in that block there is sin, cos and atan2
what we need to do is find the radians between two points using atan2 and make that into a velocity multiplier using cos and sin

how do we do that? well to find the radian between two points use somthing like this

dx = x2 - x1
dy = y2 - y1
radians = Math.atan2(dy, dx)

or


radians = Math.atan2(y2 - y1, x2 - x1)

then to set the speed of your projectile use sin and cos

mySprite.setVelocity(cos(radians) * speed, sin(radians) * speed)

it looks something like this

sorry i forgot to put sin and cos
cos is for the vx and sin is for vy (sin/cos of the radians)
And in dy dont put (sprite).x - (value).x put (sprite).y - (value).y
