Let me explain what I want to happen. As you wander around the world, you encounter random battles. A "battlescreen" pops up, populated with random enemies. The part I need to work on is to have a menu system in place you can select to attack the enemy one time. The enemy will then strike you one time. Then the menu pops up again. It sounds so simple, I haven't got a clue how to begin on this.

You need to use 'instanceof'. I can't think of another way to do it.

Okay it works perfectly! thank u danpost!

It worked, thank you really much! :D

Thank you very much...

thanks

If all three color parts (red, green and blue) have the same value for all the colored pixels in your images, you could check and replace the colors one at a time. Even if the color parts are fairly close in value, you could check the ranges and do the same. However, it might be best in your case to create the images yourself. You could do this programmatically; or you could use a paint program to fill/draw the areas with different colors and save each different colored/shaped image independently and change the image by setting it to a different filename.

Thank you so much dan!!! You are the best ;)

I'll try it out! Thank you! :)

Wow... thank you both for your help. I am to use a system like this to create a scrolling top-down "Zelda-like" game which can be edited easily. This should help with my understanding.

My Crayon Babies scenario is a demonstration of how to work with multiple worlds. The MainWorld class is the one it sets up in before start-up. When 'Run' is first hit, it goes to the InfoWorld class which returns back to MainWorld when clicked on. When the MainWorld is then clicked on, InfoWorld again becomes the active world, before going to MenuWorld when clicked on this time. Depending on your choice in MenuWorld, either MainWorld or ImageWorld will become active if 'Quit' is not chosen. I programmed it so InfoWorld will only show be

thank you very much :)

Very good. However, you would use <Code Omitted>for a normal exit. Non-zero amounts are used for when the program needs to be terminated for some reason other than, let us just say, that the user opts to terminate the program or the program has run its course to the end and shuts down normally.

Update: Fixed the bug by changing the paint order. The problem is that it's very laggy, but there aren't many ways to solve the problem.
