public class Castle extends World

    public Castle()
    {   
        // Create a new world with 600x400 cells with a cell size of 1x1 pixels.
        super(800, 500, 1);
        setBackground("Castle-stock3197.jpg");
        goToInstructions();

    public void goToInstructions()
    {
        if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("space"))
        {
            Greenfoot.setWorld(new Instructions());
        }
    }
}
 
 
to this...
 
public class Instructions extends World
{
 
    /**

     */
    public Instructions()
    {   
        // Create a new world with 600x400 cells with a cell size of 1x1 pixels.
        super(800, 500, 1);
        setBackground("Castle.jpg");
    }

the goToInstructions method is only called in the constructor of your world, it should be in your act method:
?
1
2
3
4
public void act()
{
    goToInstructions();
}
which will cause the goToInstructions method to be executed when you probably expected :)

The problem is, the method goToInstructions is only being called once. Move goToInstructions(); from the Castle constructor to its act method like so:
?
1
2
3
4
public void act()
{
    goToInstructions();
}
