Well, if you want to use "hold", just look of boolean[] no. 1 is true at that index, if you want to use "click (and ignore if key stays pressed)" return the index of boolean[] no. 1 and set it to false.\r\rWell just look at this: http:\/\/pastebin.com\/raw.php?i=wf9A4jfe\r\rOf course you are free to code as you want ^^"},{"author_name":"voidstar69","author_uid":"18183","time":"Dec 20, 2012 @ 10:40pm","epoch":1356042900,"text":"I played the Android version on my Galaxy S3. The blue gradient in the background does not fill the whole screen.

This is good! I love the angry faces it's a nice touch. Only 2 things: they should speed up when all the ships are gone and it's bad that the game quits when all aliens dead.
