You can use the line I gave above by replacing trailColor with Color.RED or Color.BLUE.

Thank you so much! That fixed it. And wow, thank you for the statistics, I'd just set the value randomly while troubleshooting this so I most likely would've fixed it, but it's interesting to know the exact percentage nonetheless. For the record though, it does move and it also has the same percent chance of removing the "opponent" actor, so it's interesting to see which one "wins." Regardless, thank you for the help.

With a rotation of 33 degrees, moving at a rate of 4 pixels per act, an actor will take a direct route between the two corners. To place an actor randomly, but exactly on the diagonal, take any random value less than 300 and multiply it by 3 for the x and multiply it by 2 for the y, to be where to add the actor into the world. Keep in mind that the actor will never be at exactly (900, 600) as the lower right corner is at (899, 599).

Possible things you could try are: (1) use a for loop to move the actor one square at a time toward its destination, checking for collision at each square; (2) add an object the stretches between the origin and destination squares, not including the two squares and ensure it has no intersecting objects; (3) represent the position of the board in an array and iterate between the two positions looking for a non-empty position; There are probably other ways as well, but one of these should work for you.

Code for detection: <Code Omitted>

Maybe you should take a look at my Value Display Tutorial scenario.

<Code Omitted>

thank you. have a nice day

Sorry. Line 8 should be: <Code Omitted>

You just need to drop eggs at random times (not all the time).

Thanks!

Super_Hippo it worked finally.Thanks a lot.

Maybe you should have your world deal with the key presses and inform the "current" ingredient how to respond. This would most probably require that you have a list or array of the ingredients to iterate through as the key presses are detected.

Yes. You had the actor spawning in, but the field, thePlayer, was not being set to that actor. My first line applies the assignment and my second one adds that (same) actor into the world.
