Sorry, I'm just using text.class as an example. Use "yourActor'sNameWithTheCounter.class"

Acts per second? Displaying numbers on-screen?

Okay, maybe there's my problem?
I don't actually have a separate class for that, I just have it in a method in my world. Do I need another class? And if I do, do I need an image to go along with it, because that changes, and I don't know how to change the actual image itself.
I think it would be easier to do with another class, and good practice :D. There might be a way to do it without another class though, I've never displayed text before.
okay, I'll try another actor. But I still don't have a way of tracking the time that works (the millisecond thing didn't really work). Also, do I need some sort of image to go along with the class?
yes, i have the starttime variable (although i just called it 'start' for ease) but when i hit the run button, it goes up to 1 and then stops going up.
Are you making sure that the Act() method is updating the timer? If not, it would probably only update once.
Try this:
then, to make the image:
Dont forget to put
at the top.
1 2 3 4 | if(System.currentTimeMillis() > start) { long timepassed = ((System.currentTimeMillis() - start) / 10); } |
1 2 3 | String s = Long.toString(timepassed); GreenfootImage img = new GreenfootImage(s,12,Color.black,Color.blue);setImage(img); |
1 | import java.awt.Color; |
