I need help

You can use the setPaintOrder method (found in the world API): public void setPaintOrder(java.lang.Class... classes) Set the paint order of objects in the world. Paint order is specified by class: objects of one class will always be painted on top of objects of some other class. The order of objects of the same class cannot be specified. Objects of classes listed first in the parameter list will appear on top of all objects of classes listed later. Objects of a class not explicitly specified effectively inherit the paint order from their superclass. Objects of classes not listed will appear below the objects whose classes have been specified. Parameters: classes - The classes in desired paint order So, for example, public class MyWorld extends World { public MyWorld(){ setPaintOrder(street.class, stripes.class, player.class); } }

I am quite sure you meant: setPaintOrder(player.class, stripes.class, street.class); Also, the super constructor call would need to be called prior to this line in that constructor.
