The background image must remain completely opaque. Using "clear()" on it makes it completely transparent, which is why you are getting trails and added residual images.

@Roshan123, iZip should be able to unzip them; although, I have no personal experience with iZip. You might need to re-suffix the file from ".gfar" to ".zip" for it to work -- possibly not.

@Roshaan123, oh yeah. Forgot about the lockout. File menu was added so that the Options menu could actually work on something. Nothing more. I wanted to show what code would look like having a menu selection (in Options) actually doing something (operating on File menu).

@Roshan, it will work: getBackground().drawImage(new GreenfootImage(""+((char)8595), 20, Color.BLACK, new Color(0, 0, 0, 0)), 500, 500);

@Roshann123, not with that. Just use: ((char)8595) like: System.out.println(""+((char)8595)+"");

@Roshan123, okay -- it is a character glyph. I basically copy/pasted the code given and I get a arrow, pointing downward, in the terminal.
