fixing my score board
In your code it still says
image.drawString(TRY AGAIN?, 60, 225);
try changing it to
image.drawString("TRY AGAIN?", 60, 225);
The parentheses tell it that it's text, not a variable.
also still want to know how to make the score board appear when the game ends and how to make it show the proper score ( sorr if that sounded rude to)
the try again thing works =D
It didn't sound rude :D.
To make it appear, you could make a new actor called "Scoreboard", then when the game ends, you can make another actor do
"getWorld().addObject(new Scoreboard, coordinate X, coordinate Y);"
to make it show the proper score, you need to have it access a variable where the score is shown. Basically, do something like this
and put a way to keep track of the score in the world class.
int score;
private void addedToWorld(world World)
{
score = getWorld().score;
}would it make it easier for you to tell me how to do this if i posted the source code on here? because after reading that im thinking that 1 ive seen another game that had a source code (Marbles) and it only had one score board and then im thinking that i have a counter then im thinking would it make it easier if he/she saw the code ?
or would it be easier if i try what u just said?
What part of it are you specifically having trouble with right now?
well none of it really i just want to make the score board apear at the end of the game and for it to have a correct score

image.setFont(font);

image.drawString(prefix + score, 60, 150);
image.drawString("TRY AGAIN?", 60, 225); // THIS IS THE NEW CODE
setImage(image);
}
}
Why not try this? It worked for me!
Do you really think it would help to reply to a forum which is 1 year old?
And btw, I don't think that code is really yours, I've seen it multiple times...
@Spower Well, there may be some people looking for something like this today, too. Besides, he didn't really say that it's his code.

@SPower
The code MultiplayerBanana posted has the author's name included, if you did not see.
@programmer22, my Menu Demo has a Button class with a Text sub-class that can be used to display a scoreboard. It has many methods to change the look, size, etc. It has several examples of large Text objects. For a text object with the same text as in the above code, you would use:
"Game Over\nScore: " + score
for its first parameter.
