I would like to add a button to the end of my "Space Invaders" game that gives the user the option of playing again or otherwise making use of Greenfoot.stop();

Buttons To Play Again
You can do as, if the actor dies/disappear from the world, it switches back to the start screen, or just start over, is that what you want to do?
What do you want displayed while the button is on the screen? Any game actors would have to be programmatically 'paused' if in the world. Maybe a 'GameOver' world would be useful to display the final score and provide the restart (play again) button. Just have the button start a new game world when clicked on.
@Srax, Yes, I would like the user to have a choice between starting over, (and then it should have the same effect as when you press the "Run" button for the first time) or pressing no, and then i could just bring up a new actor that is simply an image.
@danpost I have told Greenfoot to display a "You Win" or "Game Over" image according to whether or not the user has completed the wave. Like you said in your last sentence, "Just have the button start a new game world when clicked on." I do not know how to tell Greenfoot that it must rerun all the code if (for instance) "Yes" is clicked.
If "Yes" is clicked, execute the line:
where 'GameWorldName' is the name of your game world.
1 | Greenfoot.setWorld(new GameWorldName()); |
Usually you can simply use 'Greenfoot.setWorld(new NameOfYourWorld());' to restart.
Make sure to reset all static variables in the constructor if you use any.
