Not at all. I've just been out. Also, I do not know what you have, as far as these animations are concerned. I have noticed some out of memory errors with the current code, however. You may be stretching the limits with all the animations.

Yes there is indeed sometimes a error that says java is out of heap space however this is fixed most of the times by just closing and reopening the programm. I have a lot of animations and while you were gone ive managed to implement them all. Ive probably done it in a way you would not have but it seems to be working. Ive added the dashing animations in both directions and shooting. I am currently building the level itself and next i would try to implement the shooting animation actually shooting something and enemies. if you would like to see my code i can post it here, however i have to say i reused some of my old method for the jumps and ground to fuctions as the previous method just didnt work or at least i would not know how to fix it. I tried my hardest so keypresses are only registered once like youve suggested.

Ah yes concerning the level, is there a problem if i load in the entire level at once with the addObject method in example world or is that fine? If its not fine is there a better way to do it?

Is there a good way to create events for enemies so they only start to move once you are like 2 screen sizes away from them? I dont have any enemy class yet i was just currious.

If you are asking if there is a way to trigger an enemy to do something when within a certain range of the player, you can use the getObjectsInRange method for checking proximity.

Is it possible to remove the character or rather replace it with a animation like explosion if the world edge is touched? I know its possible on a regular world but i dont know how to do it on a scrolling world. Do you maybe have an Idea?

So, next i wanted to make a enemy that walks back and fourth on a plattform and randomly (or after two (repetetions or something liek that) turns to the player and begins to shoot (as in it stops for a couple of seconds and then resumes to walk) The code i have looks liek this.
?

Also could you clearify on how i would add the method for the enemy to only react at a certain distance?

A method does not restrict actions -- only a conditional can do that (an if statement). What do you think it would look like?
There are more replies on the next page.
