I am trying to call a method where the player would lose a life if the enemy object reached one side of the wall. I have my lives displayed at the top of the screen. However, there seems to be an error when calling the method.

I am not Zamoht, however, here we go. The invasion method should be in the class of the enemy. At least, the enemy location check should be there.

Remove both the invasion and the checkLivesLeft methods.

Thanks danpost for the help! However, there seems to be a 45 sec delay before the the life icon is removed from the screen. sometimes after 20 enemies have passed by, no icons have been removed , and the finally world changes but, the world should change right after 3 enemies have past by.

Please show your revised Enemy class codes. Also, remove the first word, 'Lives', from lines 64, 66 and 68 in your GameScreen class code and remove line 60 altogether.

Yes, i still have the same issue though. There is a long delay and the lives don't get removed off the screen immediately. It seems that after 20+ objects have past by, the Gameover screen appears.

the main actor is displayed on the left hand side of the world. The enemy object are coming from the right side of the screen. Once the enemy objects hit the opposite end, without being shot, a life is supposed to be lost.

I had a feeling. Your original code was using getY which led me to believe the enemies were going upward (see line 36 of your second post -- in the invasion method). It seems a bit odd, but I went with it. Okay, change line 63 in your last code post to:
?

if (getX() < 10)
You can probably remove lines 31 through 34 also.
There are more replies on the next page.
