The Menu now appears at the top left on my game screen =) I need to now try and add a help section inside the menu which includes instructions on how to play the game, figure out how to add another two levels which start after the level before is completed and some form of power up but don't worry I don't expect you to help me with that! lol Since I have started at my new college Greenfoot has not opened up ONCE on their computers even from the stand alone on my memory stick, this isn't just happening to me but it does work for most of the students there. That is why I am so grateful for a

Do you mean methods held inside Boat.class? If so, here's a code snippet demonstrating it: <Code Omitted>Where x is the boat's position within the list

Yes, only because there is no other code in the method. However, if more code was added later on, the if-else if statement would not prevent that code from executing, and would probably cause a run-time error (trying to do something to an object that is no longer in the world). Use of the 'return;' statement, especially after removing the object from the world, is more of a fail-safe.

never mind this post I found my problem

You will need a sewperate world, and when you <Code Omitted> your world will be passed an Issac as one of the arguments. Then spawn that Issac in the new wold and it should work.

That's right.

Do you mean like, set up a boolean to track whose turn it is to draw (maybe called 'iaTurn'), and if it is false then get keystrokes from the keyboard and if it is true get characters from a list (or something like that)? If that is what you were looking for, you will need one more boolean to track 'iaIsDrawing' and a String to hold the last 'iaChar' and an integer to count down the time the "key is held down".

Yes, of course I will do that. But at the moment I'm working on a loading screen for my new game.

Like this? public void ballMove() // NEW MOVE METHOD { if (getY() == 0 || getY() == 500-1) { ((PongWorld)getWorld()).updateScore(this); //((PongWorld)getWorld()).p1.getScore(); Txt1.setText("john:" + ((PongWorld)getWorld()).p1.getScore()); //Txt1.setText("john:" + p1.getScore()); // updateTxtScore(); //Label.setText(getWorld().Txt1); //Label.setText(PongWorld.Txt1); //((PongWorld)getWorld()).updateScore(Label); //((PongWorld)getWorld()).update

I'm not sure if scrolling was what was wanted. MHRnR: have you tried reading the Greenfoot API documentation? There is a setBackground(...) method for the World class.

Hello,Thank you very much i will have a look :)

It's all right. It's really not worth that much trouble. Thank you for all your help. I really appreciate it. I'll post whatever ended up being wrong once I get my results back.

Thanks for the help!(:

For starters, your indentation is terrible... use "auto-layout" from the "edit" menu in the editor!

Often, in scenarios such as this, I would create a world instance integer variable called 'faze' (for phase), and use a switch in the act() method for processing at each phase. In your case, it would end up something like: faze = 0: if (!buttonClicked()) return; fetch(); faze = 1; return; faze = 1: if (!buttonClicked()) return; load(); faze = 2: pausebutton(); return; faze = 2: if (!squaresStopped()) return; setALU(); faze = 3; activatebutton(); return; faze = 3: if (!buttonClicked()) return; process(); faze = 4; return; faze = 4: if (!buttonClicked()) return; unload(); f
