I am trying to program the game to stop automatically when the bird actors hits the penguin actor, but I don't know how to do it. Here is my current code for the bird.
?

private boolean canHitPengu()
    {
        Pengu  pengu = (Pengu) getOneObjectAtOffset(0, 0, Pengu.class);
        if(pengu != null)
        {
            return true;
        }
        else {
            return false;
        }
    }
     
    private void hitPengu()
    {
         if(Hit)
         {
              return;
         }
         Pengu  pengu = (Pengu) getOneObjectAtOffset(0, 0, Pengu.class);
    }

The second method given above really does not make any sense -- the 'Hit' field is not declared and the 'pengu' reference is lost as soon as it is created because the method ends right there. The first method is not needed as calling 'canHitPengu()' is exactly the same as calling 'isTouching(Pengu.class)'. Finally, there is no 'Greenfoot.stop()' command in the code to stop the game.
