How to make an actor stretch between two points? Also a laser beam, outward

You know, like a wall, or force field or whatever...

What is a good way?

And then also, to make a laser beam which stretches outward from the source?
Then detaches

As in our classic shooter favorite, Life Force ;-)

Or recently, in DoDonPachi?
See my review here ;-)

Thanks! ;-) There is one soon for the shmup* related RType emulation which just arrived, and ESPGaluda, just have to edit and upload em (and Space Invaders infinity gene 3.0 was done last month)

This firemaple demo does indeed show what I would need to do it... now I just need to try and understand the math involved here...

*In other thoughts, I do plan to do a "manic shooter" on GS sometime soon - I just hope that the engine (and users' older devices) can handle animating many, many lasers at once...!

Really? I thought you loved shitty games like Maple Story:)

Maple story is more of a side scrolling 2d plat former / MMORPG than a "shooter"',
Wouldn't you say?

It's lucky I didn't discover maple story a few years ago, or could have gotten hooked on it ;-)
Simple but fun, and very customizable gameplay

Now I run only Mac, so no temptation.

We are the game MAKERS now, so can't waste all our time playing. ;-)
"and the dreamers of the dream" - willy wonka

Though every maker must be a gamer, or else they'd not know how to balance things right
