I am making a simple "Escape the jail" game for my Java class. I want my Guard Actor to move back and forth until the player wins. Any Ideas? Heres my code... (In the Character class, I felt as if a boolean for if the guard is moving would come into play, as the main problem I get is the guard spazzes left and right (since the isAtWorldEdge(), once true, would make it turn back), but, I am unsure how I would get the return on if the guard is moving or not).
import greenfoot.*;
public class Character extends Actor{
public void act(){
}
public boolean isAtWorldEdge(){
boolean a;
int xPos = getX();
int yPos = getY();
if(((xPos >= 0) && (xPos <= 10)) || ((xPos >= 890) && (xPos <= 901)) || ((yPos >= 0) && (yPos <= 10)) || ((yPos >= 690) && (yPos <= 701))){
a = true;
}
else{
a = false;
}
return a;
}
public void moveGuardLeft(int speed){
if(this.getX() < 900){
move(-speed);
}
else{
moveGuardRight(speed);
}
}
public void moveGuardRight(int speed){
if(this.getX() > 0){
move(speed);
}
else{
moveGuardLeft(-speed);
}
}
public boolean isMoving(){
boolean moving;
if(){
}
else{
}
}
}import greenfoot.*;
public class Guard1 extends Character{
private int speed = 5;
private int counter = 60;
public void act(){
catchPrisoner();
moveGuardLeft(speed);
moveGuardRight(speed);
}
public void catchPrisoner(){
if(isTouching(Prisoner.class)){
Actor prisoner = getOneObjectAtOffset(0, 0, Prisoner.class);
getWorld().removeObject(prisoner);
}
}
}
