In my game I have it so when it reaches then points it goes to level 2 and then on level 2 you have to get 20 points to get to level 3 however when i am on level 2 and get ten points it restarts level to again. Please may someone help me it would be very much appreciated thank you

Need some code shown. Everything related to the 'level' variable as well as which class and type of class each part is in; also, the code where you increment the score and check for level changing, indicating what class and type of class it is in.

Do you need any more code

#
Each time you create a new level world, you are also creating a new Counter object with an initial 'score' value of zero. You can probably make the 'score' field 'static' so it retains the score accumulated in the previous levels (make sure you zero the 'score' value from you initial world constructor -- 'L1'? class -- as resetting the scenario will not zero the field). Remove your act method and place its block of code within the 'add' method after 'score++;'. If you leave the act method as is, you will be recreating the L2 world repeatedly (the score would remain 10 and the first act will recreate the L2 world). Also, you only need to check for level changing when the score itself changes.

How would i code that. I'm not sure what you mean by static and where to place the methods.

#
I gave an example of a 'static' field with the 'level' field in another discussion thread. 'static' fields are created when the project is compiled and are only reset programmatically or when the project is re-compiled. They belong to the class that they reside in. Non-static fields are not created until an object is created from the class, at which point the object is assigned a field with that name.

I have now made it a static int score 
import greenfoot.*;  // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, Greenfoot and MouseInfo)

     * the 'Act' or 'Run' button gets pressed in the environment.
     */
    public void act() 
   {
      setImage(new GreenfootImage("Score: "+ score,24, Color.RED, Color.BLACK)); 
      // this sets the image to say Score but then add what ever the score is so it may look like this Score:10 and at the start it looks like Score:0
      NextLevel();
           // this calls on the method NextLevel1 so that the code runs 
        NextLevel2();
         // this calls on the method NextLevel2 so that the code runs 
        NextLevel3();
         // this calls on the method NextLevel3 so that the code runs 
}
   public void addScore()
    {
        score++;
        // this code adds a score of 1 each time an Rock is killed
   }
//    public void addScore1()
//    {
//        score1(+3);
//     }
   
//    public void reset() 
//    {
//         score =0;
//    }
   
   public void NextLevel()
   {
        if (score == 3
        // need to make a level varible
        ){
          Greenfoot.setWorld(new L2());       
          
          // This code changes the back ground to level 2 when 3 points are scored
        } 
      
   }
 
   public void NextLevel2()
   {
      
        if (score == 20){
          Greenfoot.setWorld(new L3());
          //This code changes the back ground to level 3 when 20 points are scored 
         }  
   }
   
    public void NextLevel3()
    {
         if (score == 30){
          Greenfoot.setWorld(new Finished());
          //This code changes the back ground to the finished screen when 30 points are scored
         }  
   }
}
but now when i get to level2 the game just constantly resets its self

This was stated earlier in this thread.
