That doesn't make sense. You need at least two images for animation - one with the mouth open and one with it shut. If you have only two images and you want to slow the animation, you have two choices: move less often, or do not animate every time you move. (You'll never get it to look like the original pacman this way; you need more images).

may u have the example of scenario from the typing game???

The 'setColor' method just changes the color that will be used to draw on the image with the drawing methods; it doesn't change the color of the image. You need to draw on the image after setting the color.

Thanks a bunch. The arrow hits, vanishes, and damages the minion. Thanks! ^^

I refuse.

wait never mind i think i can get it to work a different way. Thank You for the help

Ahh yes i see that now, thanks ill change the name

You can import the Font class and then drawString text to images after 'setFont'. Example follows: <Code Omitted>

Got it! Thanks!

Ahhh okay it worked, thanks alot you two!

Your code just doesn't work. What you're trying to do is delay the barrel, but your causing a "delay" that happens in a time before the program even renders everything. If you ever want a delay that lasts a couple of frames, never put it in a while statement. That while statement happens before a single frame is rendered. What you need to do is have an int that will keep track of the time since it last fired (by subtracting 1 from itself every frame), then have a method that will return true if that counter is 0. When the barrel fires, you tell the counter to go back to 50. So I would have

How about changing its image to 'new GreenfootImage(1, 1)'. I do not think that changing alpha to zero would help much, or at least noticeably, if at all. The system would still have to iterate through all the pixels, regardless.

If you got a stop method you can use it but it would be easyer just not to move. So if you object touches another object you don't execute the move method: <Code Omitted>

thank you it works now
