For one thing, lines 22 is useless. You are setting 'img' to a new image; then two lines later setting 'img' to the image of the object that has been scaled, which eliminates the image created. What is causing the gray image is line 45, which scales the same image multiple times, which tends to distort the original image. I have also noticed that you have an excessive number of variables in the class. Compare the following with what you had:

The 'removeObject' method is being used (at line 14) to remove the 'pauseScreen' object that is created at line 4. This PauseScreen object has not yet been placed in the world so nothing is actually removed. The remove the one that is already in the world, change line 14 to <Code Omitted>(1) You can remove the 'answer' field totally (remove lines 10, 16 and 18; also, the 'answer' field declaration in this class; and change the method declaration to 'public void pause()' ). Use '!getWorld().getObjects(PauseScreen.class).isEmpty

didnt tried that, but click on edit, preferences and libraries and add your jar file to the list

thx for the answer. Could you post your todo list with your progress?

Save the world is a funktion of Greenfoot to save every actor that is in the world at the moment. All actors and there current location will be writen down in a method in the world subclass that is written by Greenfoot itselves. So you don't have to write anything and Greenfoot will do all the work for you. And then if you compile your scenario and create a new world the next time the actory you have saven will be at the position you saved them.

If you are asking about changing the background image of the world, the World class documentation of the Greenfoot API (accessed via the 'Documentation' link near the top of the page) has methods that deal with getting and setting the background image. The image is a GreenfootImage object, so you may want to see what methods are available in that class also (as well as its constructors).

Oh ok i see thank you

Just open code panel for the world class you want to remove 'undo' the 'save the world' in and delete the line 'prepare();' from the constructor and the complete method declared with 'public void prepare()'.

Ok I was using actor enemy = getOneIntersectingObject(); instead so I switched it and it works thanks :)

One way to work it would be to use the mouse such that if a mouse button is pressed (mousePressed), then the pendulum is set to its starting position; and if the mouse button is released (mouseClicked), then the pendulum is allowed to swing. The mouse actions do not even have to occur on the pendulum itself. BTW, you can update a scenario you have uploaded onto the site by re-sharing it. Just use the same Title name.

See this. It's not the "if" that's causing the problem, it's the condition "getOneIntersectingObject(Plane.class) != null". You can't call getOneIntersectingObject from an actor that's not in the world. Your checkEdge method can remove the plane from the world, so that when seePlane is called, you get the exception.

Thanks.

Alright, thanks for the tips. I am still getting used to proper method names. I was thinking it would be an overall update, with different values being added/subtracted. Maybe I could have an "updateEverything()" method with individual update methods inside the update.

To change the size of an actor you can either change the image of the actor (the file) or change the greenfootImage of the actor using the scale method. For example: <Code Omitted>
