I'm attempting to make a game and its all going well but I have 2 questions

1. I'm trying to make a spaceship move like in asteroids so left and right buttons rotate it and the A button moves the ship foward (in the same dirrection as its facing). I can get rotating working, but I can't figure out how to make the ship move in the same dirrection as its facing, is there some sort of offset by angle or something

2. Whats the best way to implament some sort of shooting element when you hold the L button. Do I have to plan ahead and do all that nasty stuff with the arrays in the Game 3 example. Can someone explain it step by step to me the comments don't make it any clearer.

thanks in advance
