Kinda confused on some things. I got the little guy to run backwards (animation), and missles don't reset, after restarting scenario? (if direction is to the right, then reset scenario, then animation is backwards) - Think this could maybe be a static variable that is not initialized (set equal to something) for the beginning setup outside of just its declaration? Fell into hole and came out uptop. Jump is now 's' and the missles are shot by holding 'a' then 'w' (should just be one key?). And pressing 'q' stops the scenario?

Okay i took a look at your code. Its like I thought, you have static variables in your samus class: a boolean called "f" and an int called "missilenum". "f" is set to false, and "missilenum" is set to 10. I'm assuming "f" has something to do with direction. The problem is that these variables are set to these values once, when the applet first loads. To fix it, set "f" to false and "missilenum" to 10 inside the constructor.

I tried that. change it in the source and then see what happens. what's happened to me when i tried that is this: you can run both directions, but then when you shoot to the right, it shoots right and then shoots left. it's as if "f" is getting set to false when you shoot.

Ah I found your real problem. Your beam class extends samus and so calls the samus constructor also. What should be done is that beam should not extend samus, and same with couple other classes. But for a quick fix change the constructor of samus to contain the following: if (!(this instanceof beam || this instanceof missile || this instanceof Counter)) { run0 = new GreenfootImage("samusstand0.png"); run1 = new GreenfootImage("samusstand1.png"); run2 = new GreenfootImage("samusstand2.png"); jump1 = new GreenfootImage("spinjump1.png"); jump2 = new GreenfootImage("spinjump2.png"); missilenum=10; f = false; setImage(run0); }

As a fellow Ti83/84 programmer i can say that this really reminds me of some of the metroid games i have seen released, and it looks really nice :)

hi, can someone send me to the email: tal.mantelmakher@gmail.com how can i create my own picture for greenfoot? cause i am doing picture but when i load it has a white squere around it

You should ask these questions on the discussion forum, but I'll answer for you. I think the problem is that you don't have transparency in your image.

talmantel: forgot to say this: go to the "support" tab on this website and click on the link to the greenfoot discussion forum.

well it was pretty damn slow on the calculator, but actually it didn't run as slowly as I'd though it would. And thank you for your kind words. I worked on the graphics for a while. I actually directly copied them from the picture I have on my calculator (I didn't lose that) so it's essentially what it would have looked like on the ti screen.
