I do not have a health Bar, only score counter, that I want to go down every seccond
Sorry, I meant 'loseScore' and check for a score of zero.
how do I make a countActCycles variable to count the cycles?
Same way a 'score' counter is made in the ScoreCounter class.

You can help someone with a counter class which does exactly that and you say you are not sure how? (see here)

I just used the code you helped me to create. I should probably go over that code and check myself

Why isn't it taking away score every second, it works fine when adding score when collecting points:

The CountingCycles class is an Actor which has to be added to the world for its code to run. If you want the score to decrease by one every 60 act cycles then put the code from the CountingCycles class into your World subclass. 
// all in World
private int actCycles = 0;

@Override
public void act() {
    actCycles++;
    if (actCycles == 60) {
        getScoreCounter().loseScore();
        actCycles = 0;
    }

Show the full Background class (Ctrl+A Ctrl+C to copy everything). You could also explain what it was that you were trying to do with the CountingCycles class.

When you create a class (for instance, a ClassName class, regardless of extends), the initialization code for objects created from that class go in the constructor of that class, which would start as follows: 
public ClassName()
The code put in its block is executed once, before any actions can be performed on that object. An active world or any Actor object placed in an active world (obviously after their creations) can have code repeatedly executed on them, which greenfoot does through the act method of the subclasses of Actor and World. So, anytime use are programming and you use words like 'continuously', 'repeatedly', 'at regular intervals', 'throughout the life of the object' or 'during gameplay' or anything else along those lines, the 'act' method is where you should be looking to place the code (or place a method call to where the code is located). The 'act' method begins like this: 
public void act()
The template for a new Actor subclass has an empty act method included in it. The template for a new World subclass does not; but, you can still add one because the World class API contains an act method with no implementation (it is empty of code).

I wasn't sure what's going on with all those methods so I asked to see the whole thing, but I guess you know.

Line 18 in the Background class is misplaced. I am not quite sure why there is a CountingCycles subclass of Actor.

Where do I place line 18 then? and if you really want the whole thing of background here :
