I am trying to reverse a String input by the user. I don't think I am far off but I have been stuck for awhile and can't figure out a solution.[Disallowed URL]

# 
public void act()
    {
        String user=Greenfoot.ask("Input a word or phrase");
       int index=0;
       
        while(index>=-user.length()-1)
        {
            showText(user.substring(-user.length(),user.length()),300,200);
            
            index=index-1;
        }
        Greenfoot.stop();
    }

Using while is not best here. showText should only be used once after the sting is reversed. There are several ways to reverse a string. The easiest is probably by using the java.lang.StringBuilder class: 
public void act()
{
    String user = Greenfoot.ask("Input a word or phrase);
    if (user != null)
    {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(user);
        sb.reverse();
        showText(sb, 300, 200);
    }
    Greenfoot.stop();
}

Ways to reverse it yourself might include: 
String resu = "";
for (char c : user) resu = c+resu;
or 
String resu = "";
for (int i=user.length()-1; i>=0; i--) resu += user.charAt(i);
("resu" is "user" backwards, if you were wondering)
