I have this game i am working on and the bullet on screen is having a small error. It shoots one bullet at a time, and when the ships y coordinates are over 200 it shoots fine. When they are under 200 it jumps and shoots from there. If anyone can check out my code or test it themselves and give me any words of advice that would be very helpful thank you. Comment out the background image and just draw the shapes if needed =) i was trying to debug this problem but it has gotten frustrating. thanks

Don't do this, it will only cause issues down the road.
sf::Thread movUp(&moveUp);
sf::Thread movDown(&moveDown);
/*else*/ if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Down)){
if(movey <= 300)
movDown.launch();
}
else if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Up)){
if(movey >= 15)
movUp.launch();
}
That is a really bad idea, please just don't do this. Forget you even heard of threads and multithreading because this is really bad.
And please, please, please learn to use some indenting in your code.
sf::Thread movUp(&moveUp);
sf::Thread movDown(&moveDown);
:o
I don't understand.
