I do not know .. what does it look like right now?

Unfortunately, there really is no easy way to fix this. You need to either determine the alpha part of the track image at all four corners of the car image or use some type of pad intersection method whereby a method is executed on the intersecting pad that determines if the car is on the track or not. Two types of pads would be minimally required -- one for straight-aways and the other for turns. For the straight-aways, the pad can cover all locations the car can be located; for the turns, it can be placed at the focal point of the arc the turn makes (if the arc was allowed to continue aro

...embarrassed! Thanks guys for pointing out the obvious to me! I hope my students don't find this.

How about this: what value did you intend 'speed' to represent? How would that value be determined?

Thanks!

Thanks so much for your quick response! Really good solution, i feel like you made me go a huge step towards actually using logic in programming (Im only a newbie) Thank you again, I was stuck with this problem for so long :D

There is no greenfoot.awt package. To refer to the java.awt.Font class, you have to use that name: java.awt.Font.

Sweet, thanks so much! It works now! Thanks for your help!

Thanks man.

Oh okay, thanks.

Maybe you should go over the Greenfoot tutorials (for basic info on using the application and getting started). You can also view some short videos (linked on the same page) for how-to on various topics. As far as the code itself, which is pure java, you can check out the Java tutorials. The second section, Trails Covering the Basics, would be the place to start.

Thank you for your concern, but I made it work so that instead of the cube class deleting itself and replacing itself in a spawn point, it would just stay where it was, and things would spawn around it. When I upload the game, feel free to see for yourself.
