How do I make my guy shoot one way if he is facing that way and another if facing that way? ---

Make a variable that stores the last keystroke, either left or right, and then check for what it was. ---

Don’t mind the flip image things, those are to indicate direction. Attach a variable to the left and right buttons, and have the shoot button check the direction. I use this all the time. I’d also recommend setting a starting variable in the on start block, to let you shoot without moving first. ---

For readability, you can do something like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/8/86e4f605878ed728b66d6c7a62b635c1f8ebf02b.png) ---

You can also drag the true false booleans from the logic section. And then you just put `left` instead of `left = 1` ---

I’m aware. I started using 1’s and 0’s when I was just starting, and now I’ve just kind of gotten in the habit. ---
