I want an actor( the enemy) to follow the Main Actor. I tried to code a method to do this but when i put the method in act() it says:"cannot find symbol - variable player". Why does it searches for a variable? 
private void followPlayer(Actor player)
{
    turnTowards(player.getX(), player.getY());
    move(1);
    setRotation(0);
}
public void act() 
    {
        followPlayer(player);
    }
Please Help.

Where is player coming from in line 9? It is not a variable declared within the method. Do you have a field with player declared as its name in the class?

What code do you have in the class declaring that field and assigning the actor to it? If it is just the name of an Actor subclass, that is not enough, as a class is not an Actor object.

public Actor player;
It would still need to be assigned the player object.
