I am learning Greenfoot to teach it to my students and I thought it would be fun practice to try to code Wordle. My program is working as expected except that the graphics (Actors that are essentially coloured tiles, and an Actor that prints a word through setImage) only show up AFTER the game has been won or lost. While the game is in progress, the graphics space is blurred out.
The graphics should be showing up after each guess has been entered by the user (using Greenfoot.ask). For testing purposes, if I set something to System.out.print in the terminal window in the same places in the code where I use addObject for my Actors, that prints in the terminal window after each inputted guess, as it should. Why don't the graphics/Actors behave similarly?
I have only done one other (incomplete) program in Greenfoot prior to this and it was a running game just with an Actor controlled by the arrow keys, so I'm wondering if there is something I am not understanding about how Greenfoot works.
Thanks in advance!
