The following will find the closest leaf and then make a move toward it (if any found).

Yeah. What you probably should have done, instead of creating a seperate class for each of the Pic#s, is create one class (I would call it Mimic, because it mimics the image) and create one instance of it when the mouse is over a button. Pass it an object of the class the button refers to in the parameter so it can access its image.

You can't make a method return a different type to what it does return. I think what you probably mean is, you want to check whether there exist any actors in a certain radius. In that case, just call getObjectsInRange() and call isEmpty() on the result to check whether there are no actors in range. <Code Omitted> ... will set result to true if there are any actors within a 100 cell radius.

THANK YOU!! :)

Ummm... I'm not doing this scenario anymore. Thank you both for your help, though.

That's great thanks.

Please refer to the Cursor class documentation for extra info you may want to know about.

Technically you should use '\r\n' for Windows text files and just '\n' for Mac / unix style text files. However, as Gevater_Tod says, it will usually work just fine if you use '\n'.

abilities :p

The code used in Greenfoot is Java code. So anything you learn there (at least as far as the basics are concerned) should assist you in programming in Greenfoot.

Put a small transparent object at each place where the actor is to turn; if your actor moves faster than one pixel per act, use a 'for' loop to move one pixel at a time and check for intersection with transparent object. When object found, turn number of degrees required. For variance, you can specify the number of degrees to turn within the transparent object (or just specify the new direction of travel). If necessary, you can adjust the actor to the location of the transparent object to maintain the same line of travel each time around the path. The 'for' loop is unnecessary if you make

@FlyingRabidUnicornPig, that may not do what Kiara wants. With that, There will never be more than one spider and having a reference to one Spider object in the world class will not work when there is more than one in the world. Better, would be just for Kiara to use the code that he has, with one addition (referencing the world):

Sorry, try changing line 9 to the following: <Code Omitted>

There is an Actor class method that you can use to get the world the actor is in, if it is in one. If the actor is not in any world the method will return 'null'; if it is in a world, then that world will be returned. The method is 'getWorld'. Change your last line in your act method to: <Code Omitted>or, change your act method to the following: <Code Omitted>
