I can leave you with a RandomSpawn Method that I am currently using to spawn Monsters randomly around the Y-axis tho. Just to give you an idea.

public void act()
{
    if(spawnTime == 0)
            RandomSpawn();
    else spawnTime--;
}
private void RandomSpawn()
{
    addObject(new Mob(GetSpeed()),999,getRandomNumber(35,765));
    spawnTime = 50;
}
private int getRandomNumber(int start, int range)
{
    return start + (int)Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(range-start+1);
}
To remove the mob(your object) after one second I would go into the Mob(your object) class and put a timer in the act method. After 1 second it should just remove itself. Set the Spawn Timer after the first Spawn to 1 second as well and voilà, you did it.

You probably just need one actor in the world from the following class:
?

import greenfoot.*;
 
public class Peekaboo extends Actor
{
    private int timer;
 
    public void act()
    {
        timer = (timer+1)%60;
        if (timer == 0)
        {
            int x = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(getWorld().getWidth());
            int y = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(getWorld().getHeight());
            setLocation(x, y);
        }
    }
}
The only behavior given in this class is what you had indicated was needed. Any other behavior will have to be added as needed. And, of course, the class name can be modified as desired.

So this is my world code, it is a bit different from the standard one.. when i paste any of your codes in my "Seestern" Class( german for seastar) it doesn't happen anything. Do I have to change something in my World class?

You are checking for 60 act iterations, not 60 seconds. Check this Post for further information.

So I don't have to change anything in my World class? I'm a bit confused now :D Do I have to change anything in the code of danpost?

You are talking about a "Seestern" Class like you are assuming we know the code. You should provide us with information. Post your "Seestern" Class please. danpost's code is correct. Just his timer is not.

Keep in mind that we are talking about actor iterations here. We are not talking about 60 seconds. To use seconds instead of iterations please Check this post.

Yes it worked! but there are too much sea stars which spawn.. how can I set a max count of sea stars?
xbLank xbLank

#
Do you really mean too many or just too fast? As I mentioned earlier: You are working with act iterations, not seconds. Assuming you actually mean that there are too many, you can run a counter for each 'Seestern' added to the World.
