I need help please.

Well I'll just do a quick answer here, tell me if I need to elaborate on some things. My syntax will probably NOT be correct for it all, so just use this as a reference. 1. make a variable (wormCount) and make a class called addWorms() that says something like: if(wormCount < 40) { getWorld().addObject(new Worm, Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(400), Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(400)) } Just place "addWorms();" in the Act() class. 2. Just do something like wormsEaten = (Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(5) + 5); 3. Make it so that when he eats a worm it does something like this: if(wormEat) { wormEnergy = (wormEnergy + 10); } then under the Move() method: move() { move(4); wormEnergy = (wormEnergy - 1); } 4. Call the method "checkDeath()" in the act() method: public void checkDeath() { if(wormEnergy =< 0) removeObject.this; <--- I forget the syntax for removing, that's close I think } 5. Just do something like Act() { if(Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(100) > 10) //about a 10% chance that it will change direction { setRotation(Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(359) } move(4) } 6. Just add the eatWorm() method to crab 7. In the eatWorm() and checkDeath() methods, make something like wormCount = (wormCount - 1) crabAlive = (crabCount - 1) then add a new method somewhere called checkLose() public void checkLose() { if(wormCount =< 0 || crabCount =< 0) // the || means "or" Greenfoot.stop(); } Hope that helps :D.

thank you very much. i have 1 problem though, the if statement that goes if(wormCount =< 0 || crabCount =< 0) it states it is an illegal start of type?

I thought I was wrong when writing, and I was correct about being wrong. it should be: if(wormCount <= 0 || crabCount <= 0) I wrote "=<" where it should be"<=" Picky picky Java :D.

actually the removeObject.this comes up as not a statement

The first 6 items on the list are actually very simple, but the 7th one is EXTREMELY difficult. I'm taking a highschool class in Greenfoot and I cant even do that. Maybe you should leave that out, i dont know anyone who can do that. sorry. but if you want, i could get a working program that does everything else any post the code.

Well... "Greenfoot.stop();" would stop it. 7th is pretty easy if you just mean stop. If you mean exit, well I think that would be difficult if not impossible. But dude, a highschool greenfoot class nice, wish I had that. :D

For number 7: put in the act() method of the world class 'if (getObjects(Worm.class) == null || getObjects(Crab.class) == null) Greenfoot.stop();'. And for number 2: wormsEaten = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(6) + 5; (the random return will be between 0 and 5) I think as far as energy goes, I would set wormEnergy = 10 * wormsEaten immediately following the setting of wormsEaten; and with each worm eaten during the run of the scenario, increment wormsEaten and add ten (10) to wormEnergy; then, on each move you only need to subtract one from the energy and check for zero energy state.

"if (getObjects(Worm.class) == null)" Didn't know you could do that :0. I do now, thanks!

I think you guys are mixing something up here. You're confusing "explain to me how you do this" with "giving me the solution". If you really "wanna be a head of the ball game" you need to be able to do more than copy down the code. How about explaining them one by one?
