Will the text be constant or should it be changeable? What text is to be displayed? Give example(s).

Maybe you can use:

getWorld().showText(name, getX(), getY()-45);

at end of constructor and at end of act method, with:

getWorld().showText(null, getX(), getY()-45);

at the beginning of the act method.

Initially i thought about it but afterwards i thought that it will simply draw it on the background of the world. Ok... Whatever it may be, 1st of all i should try!

Sorry. Remove line from end of constructor. Add the following method:

protected void addedToWorld(World world)
{
    world.showText(name, getX(), getY()-45);
}

//constructor 
protected void addedToWorld(World world)
{
    world.showText(name, getX(), getY()-45);
}
public void act
{
getWorld().showText(null, getX(), getY()-45);
//Rest of the code
}

Its still not adding text

You should have line 4 AGAIN before line 10.
