Bullets. Easy as pie. No math involved - unless you wanna get complicated. Which I suppose you don't want to do.
Do you know how to use types and sprites? If so, then I can help with the bullets.
If you're using types and sprites, put this code at the top, where all your types are:
Then, just put this in your main loop:
That will create a bullet. If you want sparks flying out, that's another question - to do with particle engines, etc.
Then, to complete the process, and to optimize speed, you might want to fade out the sprite, so it isn't there all the time. To fade out, just do this:
For gravity, you could use a physics engine if you want to get complicated, which you shouldn't. Or, you could simply put this after "Flip" in your main loop.
To walk up steps, you could use "EntityRadius" to create a collision radius around your camera. If you have any further questions, feel free to e-mail me.

If you're using types and sprites, put this code at the top, where all your types are:
Type hole Field entity Field alpha# End Type
Then, just put this in your main loop:
If MouseHit(1) ammo = ammo - 1 ;subtract ammo (optional) h.hole = New hole shoot = CameraPick(camera, 400,300) h\entity = CopyEntity(bulletholesprite) h\alpha# = 0.9 EntityAlpha h\entity, h\alpha PositionEntity h\entity, PickedX(), PickedY(), PickedZ() EndIf

For a.hole = Each hole a\alpha = a\alpha - 0.02 EntityAlpha a\entity, a\alpha If a\alpha <= 0 FreeEntity a\entity Delete a EndIf Next
