That is true, but you still need a lot of code if you want to replicate proper images.

Hmm. To be honest, that looks like it might be a Java bug, although I get slightly better results using JPanel instead of JLabel (I still see the exception). Possibly it's a result of having so many components.

I am actually working on jmonkey and i have previously used eclipse. I was more asking if anyone knew a good tutorial/guide for making games in strait java

@FlyingRabidUnicornPig, I was going to mention that as well as the fact that the conjoiner should be '&&" (not '||'); but the question I asked was intended to deal with that part of the code.

Pseudo-code is not precise code you would use. You have to either create the method that the line calls or replace the line with code that performs that action (or check) required.

If your actor doesn't find the variable GRAVITY you propably declared it private or tried to access it the wrong way. I think GRAVITY should be a variable in the world (declared public static final). If you want to access this variable from your actor you can't use just the name of the variable but the classname of your world and the variable name: WorldName.GRAVITY; If this is not the problem you should post the code that doesn't work here.

Discussion about both these things comes up regularly, try a search if you don't get any replies.

A main method is only called one time when your application starts. Afterwards the main mehtod is not called (in no class). If you create a new object from a class not the main method but the constructor of the class is called.

Okay :P Thanks again for knowledge :)

ah, thanks Dan- will look into it soon!

@davmac Ok I'll think of this next time.

shahid1134, please don't post off-topic in a conversation. You can read about Greenfoot on this website, please see the "About" section.

Actually, I've found its really unreliable. Sometimes Greenfoot will accept keyboard input almost straight away, and other times you need to wait up to 5 seconds before you can use the keyboard. However, if you use the keyboard before Greenfoot starts accepting keyboard input, you won't be able to use the keyboard at all, until you pause or reset.

Oh I get it now! Thank you!
