Workshop › Puzzle Bobble-style Bubble Shooter › Step 28 of 31

Play again

What we are doing

After the game, Space or a tap starts a new one. The tap only restarts; it does not also fire in the new game.

```js
  else if (event.key === ' ') state === 'playing' ? shoot() : reset()

canvas.addEventListener('pointerdown', (event) => {
  if (state === 'playing') pointAt(event)
})
// Lifting the finger shoots, or plays again after the end (so the tap that restarts does not also shoot).
canvas.addEventListener('pointerup', () => (state === 'playing' ? shoot() : reset()))
```

What it means

• Space shoots while playing and resets otherwise.
• A press only aims while playing; lifting shoots while playing and resets otherwise, so one tap is one action.

Your turn

1. In keydown, change the Space line.
2. Replace the pointerdown and pointerup lines with the new listeners and the comment.
