I am making a game where the enemies spawn in with a health bar above their heads but I don't know how to either spawn in?

Hi Programmers, I am wondering what the best way to both switch and scale images in a constructor. I want to reduce the sizes of the sprites in code rather than in Photoshop or something similar. For instance, I know about making new object variables like... image1 = new GreenfootImage("sprite1.png"); image2 = new GreenfootImage("sprite2.png"); image3 = new GreenfootImage("sprite3.png"); setImage(image1); and I know about how to scale images using something like this... getImage().scale(getImage().getWidth()/3,getImage().getHeight()/3); and I know about calling a custom method to switch sprites, such as... public void switchImage() { if (getImage() == image1) { setImage(image2); } else { setImage(image1); }} However, I'd like to know the BEST way to keep all of the sprite images scaled or reduced down during a game. Thanks much!

Hello, I've installed Greenfoot 3.6.1 on an new Linux Mint; no problems. When I try to do something with Greeenfoot (a new Stride-project) after about 5 seconds, the whole system slows down extremly (max. speed of mousepointer on the screen : 10 cm in 10 seconds). I do not live inside the processor, but it feels like a bunch of infinite loops generated by Greenfoot. Under MS Windows 10 on the same PC it'a all OK. Thanks in advance for any hint Jochen
