I did say that they were conditions (for an 'if' statement).

thanks! it works now. however a random number of red worms appear. what i was requested to do was to: When score reaches 10, red worms appear, one by one, at random locations, 2% of the time, with max of 20 at a time how would i change it to that?

thank you both! it works now

Thank you for your advice. The big problem I was really having was that the hockey player would always interact with the puck once it was created, causing him to pick it up again immediately after he shoots. I used a delay (counter) after shooting the puck so that he couldn't pick it up again within a short interval. You've helped me out a few times with the game and I think it'll be finished tomorrow, so I'll post a link and maybe you can let me know what you think! It's just a college project. Only been programming for about 2 months now. But do as you wish! Might give you some satisfact

I think I worked it out. The order has much to do with it.

Thanks, the A.staticInteger stuff was what I needed to know ;-)

your methods is not working it stops every thing it compile but there is something wrong in it (logic error) ???!!!!

never mind I fixed it

bump.

The class is already set up to start your counter with 5 lives, all you have to do is create a counter object. To link it to your actor, you will need an instance Counter field in that actor's class. You can create and assign an object to the field in the field declaration statement and add a method to retrieve the counter object from the class: <Code Omitted>Then in the world constructor, when adding your objects to the world:

When I have the Greenfoot.playSound for the worm class, it continually plays the sound over and over again.

If you want to get the color of a pixel in the image of an actor, use (from within the class of the actor whose image you want the pixel color of): <Code Omitted>The values of 'x' and 'y' are offsets from the top-left corner of the image itself.

Thank you danpost, your observation about needing a more accurate location of the background helped me find a solution. It's not complete yet, since it's looking PAST the background picture and into the all white layer, but all in all I think I can fix it from here. If not, well, I'll probably be back here begging for help.
