Please refer to the middle section, The condtional operators, of this page of the Java tutorials.

You could try something like have the bat turn towards the player, Use a countdown variable that gets set when you turn towards the character and each act method minus 1 from it, when it reaches zero turn towards the player and reset counter, this would be kind of like a gnat buzzing around your guy. Is that what you are looking for?

Ah yes indeed, thank you so much for your help! I might get back once more after having tried some stuff:

I think what you have will move the balls when the robots touch them. They are just not moving in the way you would like. I believe you want the ball to move in the same direction as the robot touching it is moving (or facing). For one example method: <Code Omitted>

If you remove the object from one world and add it into the second, as danpost describes, it will retain all its variable values.

You need to introduce an instance variable which tracks whether the decision for the direction has been made yet. Only choose a new direction if it is false. You will need to clear it back to false once your Ghost moves past the intersection.

You also could have used: <Code Omitted>

Alright, now, replace your act method with this: <Code Omitted>compile and run; this time click directly on the center of the back wheel and report back what are returned.

Thanks, turns out the .java files were gone, only the .class files were there. I ran the .class files through a decompiler and put the .java files back in. It works now, although I have no clue what happened to it in the first place.

Place a 'return;' statement after the 'Greenfoot.stop();' line in the atEdgeOfWorld 'if' block.

OK. I wasn't sure. Well that makes making my new game engine much simpler! Thank you!

Can Greenfoot read libs outside its own map? Like a map just beside the exported jar file? Ex: loader.addClasspath( "lib\\.\\com.jcraft.jsch.jar" ); ? that syntax is wrong ofc. My question would be what would the syntac look like? // Alex

You got it! setRotation( Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(4) * 90 ); should work perfectly for what you are trying to do. You should put that line in your constructor (put it somewhere in the "public Worm()" constructor).
