Why are my lasers occasionally firing from a different Y coordinate?

    All code is viewable.

    The weird thing is that it's only a visual problem.  They still track and collide as expected.  Any ideas?

    I think I fixed it.

    I was setting variables with the value of player.x and player.y, then using those variables to spawn the missles.  For some reason they weren't always accurate.  Now I'm just using player.x and player.y directly when creating the laser sprites and it seems to have resolved the issue.

    Okay, so I don't think that was the issue.  I think I wasn't disposing of them properly.  I am now.  Also, I changed the random name to sequential just in case.

    Yes for very short lived object sequential should be safer, just reset to 0 after a big enough number to be on the safe side !

    Yep, I'm resetting it after every wave of enemies.
