You just need to put what you wrote above in code: "if the variable "lives" from the class Robson is 0" (in the Robson class, after the value of lives decreases) if(lives == 0) "the scoreboard shall appear and should show the variable "points" also from the class Robson" addObject(new Scoreboard(points), getWorld().getWidth() / 2, getWorld().getHeight() / 2); Since the scoreboard needs the points value, we send it to the scoreboard when we create it and add it to the world. The only thing is, you need to make sure the scoreboard can except an integer value in one of its constructors.

When you write a program, you're talking to the computer (specifically, the compiler) - it doesn't think like you do. It does exactly what you tell it, no more, no less.

Oh thanks- I didn't see it. It works now :-)

To let the ball bounce off you could use this method:

I'm not an expert on this, however you could set a private variable to the amount of bars of health in your health bar, and after every hit in the hit method minus 1 from the health variable. Then, you'd make the health bar's image update for every number, e.g having the health variable being at 4 showing a full health bar, at 3, less, etc until 0 where you'd effectively complete a method for the actor's death. Possibly just a removeObject but maybe you want to go into more detail.

thanks

You are not showing any code, here. Therefore, we do not know what is going on (why you are having this problem). The code for the class with the constructor in question would probably be in order, here.

So are we creating a mouse object and setting that to Greenfoot.getMouseInfo();? That makes alot more sense than what I was doing :P

The 'win' method IS tied in through the 'play' method. The reason that ties are not showing up is because you are not incrementing 'clicks' until after the call to 'play'. Switch the order of the two lines and that should fix that. You still need to figure out a way to get the coordinates of where in the world the mouse is clicking. Please review the MouseInfo class documentation. If you continue to have problems, post your world act() method with your situation.

Thanks, funny that's how I (and I assume others) do these types of checks all of the time, I just for some reason didn't this time. Danpost, always the voice of reason.

Imagine a circle of radius 'power' centered on a grid at the (0, 0) location. Now draw a line from the centerpoint to any point on the circle. The length of the line, of course, is 'power'. The horizontal offset from the centerpoint the to the point on the circle is 'xSpeed' and the vertical offset is 'ySpeed'. The 'angle' is determined by the line you drew as compared to the line from the centerpoint to the point on the circle directly to the right of it (going horizontally).

In the Mover class, change your 'atWorldEdge' method to the following: <Code Omitted>Unless your world is unbounded, getX() will never be greater than getWorld().getWidth() - 1 and getY() will never be greater than getWorld().getHeight() - 1.

thank you, problem fixed.
