Everywhere where there is the exact word laser (the word on its own with all lower cases) in the code, it comes up with an error saying cannot find symbol - variable laser

I NEED IMMEDIATE HELP
Did you comment out line 7?
no, was I meant to?
oops I forgot to type that line, just realised
sorry, let me try
No, of course not. This line should create the 'laser' variable.
when I have all the code in, I get errors in my world sub-class where I am adding the buttons. This occur in the lines :
LaserButton laserButton1 = new LaserButton();
and underlines the second LaserButton coming up with the error :
constructor LaserButtton in class LaserButton cannot be applied to other given types;
required: LaserWall
found: no arguments
reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length
This error occurs for all the 20 lines to add the buttons
Each time you create a LaserButton, you need to give it the laser that it is to work with. So, first create a laser and add it to the world; then create the button for that laser, supplying the button with that laser, and add it to the world. See how I created a LaserButton object in the previously shown code.
I do not understand is it possible I post my scenario and you show me
Every time you use 'new LaserButton(', you must include the laser that this button is to control between the parenthesis, ')'.
So:
// first laser and its button LaserWall laser = new LaserWall(); // create laser addObject(laser, << wherever >>); // add laser to world LaserButton button = new LaserButton(laser); // create button for laser addObject(button, << wherever >>); // add button to world // second laser and its button LaserWall laser2 = new LaserWall(); // create laser2 addObject(laser2, << wherever >>); // add laser2 to world LaserButton button2 = new LaserButton(laser2); // create button2 for laser2 addObject(button2, << wherever >>); // add button2 to world // third laser and its button ....
Ok I think I sort of understand, I will give it a try
Thanks a lot both of you for your time and full support, also wit quick response. I have achieved what I wanted and will continue to finish my game for my school test. If I have any problems I will message further. Thank you danpost and Super_Hippo
I do not know how to make a score counter that ticks upwards when the player collects coins whilst running through the maze, but the score counter looses a point every second. Could you please show me through how one of these is made and explain how it works and why it works.
You can import the Counter class. To the act method, you can add code to decrease a point every second. A second is about 50-60 act cycles, no need to use real seconds. You can either decrease the variable every act cycle and display /60 of the variable or you need a second int variable to count to 60 and decrease the actual score variable by 1 whenever it reaches 60.
Then, whenever the player collects a coin, you have to call the 'add' method (using 'counter.add(1)')on this Counter object (→ save a reference to it in your world or in the player class itself).
How would I code a timer like that that ticks down ever seccond
I have done the adding part, put am very confused on how to do the taking away a score point every second or 60 cycles. I can't find any examples on the internet.
