Is it possible to make the mouse cursor hidden or change the image of the mouse cursor?

I don't think this is possible because it involves changing the mouse cursor of the display. If it is possible, how can I do it? Thanks in advance.

It is, you may want to do some research, BUT it ain’t work on the website. If you are interested, you may want to search on google for „java change cursor image“

public void changeCursor()
    {
        Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
        Image image = toolkit.getImage("nothing.png");
        Point point = new Point(0,0);
        Cursor cursor = toolkit.createCustomCursor(image,point,"Cursor");
        setCursor(cursor);
    }
The only problem is, where exactly do I put this method in greenfoot?

You cannot just call setCursor on "this" -- being a World or Actor object. The setCursor method is a java.awt.Component method and must be called on a Component object. In the more recent versions of greenfoot, since greenfoot.core.WorldHandler no longer has a "canvas" field nor a getCanvas method, setting a new cursor to the window seems out of reach.

You may still be able to access these information, using reflection (accessing any field by name, also private ones). I’ll take a look at that soon
