How do I move my work to another desktop?

By Faizcon, with no replies.

I am a beginner using greenfoot in high school and I am trying to put the work I did at home, on a different compute but I am not sure what to do, I tried using google drive, dropbox but was not sure exactly what to do since the best I could do was put the folder on google drive and open it from the other computer but the work is not saved.

i would like to ask how type the codes for mastermind game in greenfoot?

This is too general of an ask. Are you wanting someone to do your assignment for you? Try anything. Show what you tried and ask for help when you get stuck on something specific. I will say this much: in turn-based games (which mastermind basically is -- guess, followed by hints), your world will "control" the game.

I am making a simulation where planes fly from one city to another. How do I make the actors move from one city to the other?

Basically, your plane would need to retain a destination, or coordinates, to turn and move toward.

Stop player from moving after intersecting actor

Replied to by danpost, about 7 years ago:

Never use thread ops in greenfoot -- and only use Greenfoot.delay when you want the entire scenario to pause for a specified amount of time. It would be better to have the player detect this actor and the canMove field should not be a static one. How can one tell whether a field should be static or not? Ask what happens if you have more than one instance of the class (two or more players, in your case). If the state (field value) is at all times the same for all instances, then you can make the field static. In your case, I doubt you would want all to not mov

Ah, I see what you mean here. I think it would be better to describe my problem with an image: << Image Link Omitted >> Basically, the red block has already been placed while the blue block is being controlled. I want to use color methods to check when the red block is underneath the blue block, which will prevent the blue block from being placed (obviously I could just use isTouching(), but I'm using the squares to get the hang of the color detection for other images). Getting colors from the background of the image only returns grey, so I need something that checks the color

get random value from array based on level

Last reply by Super_Hippo, about 7 years ago:

The equals method compares the characters/content in the string (true if they are the same), == is only true if they are both the same string (the same object). As a simple rule: Always use equals instead of == for strings. (Unless you actually want to check if it is the same object of course.)

Greenfoot Bug again? - NullpointerException

By ITStudent, with 1 reply.
Replied to by danpost, about 7 years ago:

You cannot call a method (showText -- on last line) on a non-existent object. The reference to a World object returned by getWorld will be null if this actor is removed from the world (previous line). Change last line to: <Code Omitted>

Replied to by danpost, about 7 years ago:

I'm trying to kill an orc, by using key is down "space" to remove an orc and use an image when space is clicked. But it is not working.<< ,<< Code Omitted >>

If the orc is an intersecting object, then line 7 removes the wrong actor.
