I have made a game similar to the game that you can play on google chrome when you have no connection where the objective is to jump over a load of cactus just by pressing the space bar. Well in my game i have managed to make a character that can jump and the background scrolls. All i need now is to make my wall spawn at random intervals and i don't know how i would go about that, any help would be appreciated, Thanks

Also i have tried using this piece of code for spawning random walls but it doesn't appear to work it says "method addObject in class greenfoot.World cannot be applied to given types; required: greenffot.Actor,int,int found:wall,int reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length The code i tried is this: addObject(new wall(), Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(getWidth())); ps. im new to greenfoot and coding java in general

You want your walls to always spawn at the very end of the screen and they should not be flying in the air. So you have 2 constants for x and y where x = worldEdge - wallWidth and y = wallHeight You just want to modify the time in which each object spawns. Thats up to you. But Your spawning would look like this: 
addObject(new wall(),x,y);

Thanks a lot! Just wondering if you know any loops i can use to constantly spawn them?

You don't need a loop. You will need a variable that you use as a timer in your world's act method.
