Never Mind, I did find my way around and I did publish a version of how I did it. I apprecite any comment on backGroundMusic

Another field problem is that I do not see where 'mouse' gets assigned anything. To simplify things, getting mouse.getX() and mouse.getY() could be put directly in the 'shoot' method. This removes the issue of passing x and y to the shoot method. Your new code would be something like:

The following is a brief run-down of the main statements in the code. Refer to the Java tutorial trail Language Basics for more details on Variables (Arrays) and Operators (Arithmetic). Another trail deals with Numbers and Strings. FIELDS Line 5: Creates an image array with 26 elements Line 6: Initializes a counter field to track the current element (the default value is zero -- implicitly initialized to default) CONSTRUC

thank you very much!

Sounds like that the 'checkFront' method will call either 'checkLeft' or 'checkRight' depending on which way is toward the front of the actor. For the two individual side methods, you probably want to save the current location of the actor in local fields, then move the actor toward the side being checked. Next save the boolean returns of your checks in local fields and move the actor back to where it started. Finally return the OR'ed combination of boolean results.

wow, i thought i was better than this, thanks danpost

I did indeed :)

Click on the 'Documentation link near the top of the page and then go through the 'Tutorials'. It has links to the scenarios with open source that can be downloaded.

Alright, well, thanks for the reply.

ahh! i see now, thank you so very much for your help :)

The problem is line 4 in the DroneBar class. You are creating a NEW ship. The ship you want to get the value from is in the world (creating a NEW ship object does not get a reference to the one in the world). Remove line 4 in the DroneBar class and start your 'act' method with the following lines: <Code Omitted>

There are several Scrolling World examples on the site. In fact, mine is here.

Your welcome
