It is summer break. Things are slow this time of year. Use showText(String, int, int) , a World instance method. Otherwise, to learn how to use an actor, refer to my Value Display Tutorial scenario.

How far off am i with this it says illegal start of statement before both 10s

Would this work to display the variable or would it just say Score If not how would i do it, sorry i am asking so much

The showText method is already defined (you do not have to re-define it -- no 'public void). Just use it:

You are showing an empty method with all 3 parameters written incorrectly (the first one doubly typed and the other two non-typed literals). However, again, you do not need to re-define the method. Even if you got this far (which, still, is not what you want to do at all): the compiler will not accept it unless the class was declared abstract. And this: will remove any previously given implementation of the method (that is, the method will then not do a darn thing). Refer back to my last posting. Notice that I have a String and two int values as arguments for the parameters as required.

If you had referred to the linked tutorial, you would know that you cannot control any state of the text shown by using showText(String, int int). You will need to use an Actor object if you want white text. Again, refer to the tutorial.
