https://www.greenfoot.org/topics/60875/0 thats the link to the thread, im wondering what the getScale was
It is not any method found in the greenfoot package. It was a method call thrown in to show that a scale value was to be referenced there -- as if the class had the following members:
private int scale; // (or double or float)
// and
public int getScale()
{
return scale;
}
