copied!<p>A quick overview of the problems I see that are causing your isses:</p> <ul> <li>You're checking if keys/buttons are pressed during your add, update, and draw methods.</li> <li>If a key isn't pressed, you're removing the item during an update and not drawing it during a draw.</li> </ul> <p>To accomplish what I think you're trying to accomplish, I'd do something along these lines (tailored and cleaned up for your needs, of course):</p> <pre><code>private void Update(GameTime gameTime) { // Only add a new projectile if Space or A is pressed if (currentKeyboardState.IsKeyDown(Keys.Space) || currentGamePadState.Buttons.A == ButtonState.Pressed) { AddProjectile(); // some method that adds a new projectile to 'projectiles' } // Update all existing projectiles, regardless of button press. // This will allow your projectiles to continue flying after they have been fired. for (int i = 0; i < projectiles.Count; i++) { projectiles[i].Update(); if (projectiles[i].Dead) // check if projectiles[i] is out of bounds or has collided with something { projectiles.RemoveAt(i); i--; } } } private void Draw(GameTime gameTime) { // Draw all existing projectiles, regardless of button press. for (int i = 0; i < projectiles.Count; i++) { projectiles[i].Draw(spriteBatch); } } </code></pre> <p>Your space bar or A button is only used to <em>fire</em> a new projectile. You want that projectile to fly until it hits something or flies off the side of the screen, and it shouldn't depend on whether you have a button pressed in order to do that. Neither should drawing the bullet.</p> <p>Make sense?</p>
