In 'whatever': * add any required actor for ability * set any fields required for ability In your code above for the Starfighter class, lines 69 through 71, line 69 removes the powerup, and the other lines, lines 70 and 71, perform the 'whatever' for the ability given by the SpeedBoost powerup.

thanks, how would i write the timer code for the powerup to just stay on the screen a few seconds if it is not shot. also could give an example of what i could possibly write in 'whatever', would it be as simple as speed += 5???

Your indication is that your starfighter must shoot the powerup icon to gain the ability. Is that correct? As far as the few seconds to stay on the screen, I already built that into the Powerup class. You can adjust the 'lifespan' value as desired.

ok so to sum up i only need one class for the 3 powerups and the world will randomnly pick which powerup to put on the screen...also will the powerup showing each time be delayed between each one

I am not sure what you are asking here. Be a little more specific. This, however, may answer the question. We put a minimum 20 second delay on the spawning and only a 5 to 6 seconds of showing a powerup. That would mean at least 14 seconds will pass between the disappearing of one and the showing of the next.

I do not see anywhere in this discussion where you ask anything like that. And explain the boxes -- what are they, how do they relate to your players, etc.

i got a new problem saying '.class' expected in my starfighter, here is the code:

I am not exactly sure what you are getting at. Are you saying that enemies will be killed (hopefully) by the starfighter on the side it is spawned on? can either ship fire at any enemy or only at those on its side? It might help if I had some context as to what you are trying to accomplish (in general, as well as specific to the issue).

You are missing an open curly bracket between lines 68 and 69.

Portable Network Graphics (PNG). I do not believe that Greenfoot supports '.fw' image files.

Supported file formats are JPEG, GIF and PNG.

Renaming the file is not enough. The file must be saved into one of the supported formats. And yes, the way you write it must be consistent with the way the filename was saved for the file.
