Hi there again, would somebody please be able to guide me as to how to get an actor that has an image as some text to print over more than one line? it currently looks like this
?
1
2
3
4
public void act()
{
    setImage(new GreenfootImage("Press 'r' to restart" + /**I want to seperate the line here*/"Press 'p' to pause the game" , 30, Color.WHITE, new Color(0,0,0,0)));
}
and i would like the output to be: Press 'r' to restart Press'p' to pause the game

You can use \n to get into a new line. If this causes formatting issues, you could create one image for each line and draw all of them on one image.

This can be line 3:
?
1
setImage(new GreenfootImage("Press 'r' to restart\nPress 'p' to pause the game", 30, Color.WHITE, new Color(0, 0, 0, 0)));

ohhhhh i thought the \n couldn't be a part of the string because it would just print it

You cannot put "\" in a String without one of the characters on the bottom of this page following it.
