For an explosion you can either create some explosion images and after every act change the image of an explosion object to the next image or you can use only one image and change it's size. In the Luna Lander scenario you'll find an example for this. Luna Lander is a Greenfoot demo which you'll find in your greenfoot installation directiory.

Thanks for the reply. I since discovered my original analysis was incorrect. I basically had used a third party library. One of the methods did not require an new instance of it's class to be instantiated. This class is obviously not in the system JRE. I had to put the third party jar in (my jre home)/lib/ext/ I have it sorted out now. Thanks again.

Thanks! That fixed it.

Please only use one discussion thread for each issue. I answered this problem in the other discussion (as well as above, indirectly). Also, you should not continue others discussion with your own problems (start a new discussion and, if needed, refer to the other discussion).

The code starting at 'if(getX() == 17 && getY()==15)' is not within a method (your act method ends just above that line with the closing curly bracket).

If you update the value but don't update the board the value will be changed but you will not be able to see that the value changed because the image of the LiveCounter will not be updated. I think you should call the method updateBoard at the end of your livesDown() method.

oke, thanks

bourne your didint work, something maybe wrong. I used what danpost sayed and it works fine, so thanks.

So it worked...now the only thing left is a gameover screen. I want it to be simple and i have created the subclass with a image, now i just need it to work so that if the bomb is at the bottom of the screen that it pops up and stops the game.

Awesome! That did the trick.

No problem. I realise you didn't mean any harm.

The 'img' created still needs to be set as the image of the actor. Try this: <Code Omitted>

The problem is that you can't reach a variable from another class in your class (not like you try to do this). This tutorial can help you getting to know how you can do this.
