try this code: <Code Omitted>

Another idea is to remove the object at the end of the act() method.

Or of course manage the indentation properly as you go, in which case you don't tend to run into problems like these nearly as much...! :)

I like crazy code!

Great :D!

Great!

Or you can do this: <Code Omitted>That way you don't have to draw 20 different images. This creates a red health bar inside a black rectangle that is 20X100 pixels in size. Gotta import java.awt.Color; to use Color.

You could potentially use the browse method on the desktop class: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/Desktop.html ...but bear in mind this won't work on the gallery. It's probably best just to display a link!

that actually helped alot, and worked really well...but it's an end of the year project I'm doing and I thought I should take it a step further. So instead of basing a change of level off the asteroids, I thought I'd base it off of the score, so i can have multiple levels. I know I need to assign a variable to the counter so i don't get the non-static method error, but I'm not sure how to do so. private void NewLevel() { Counter counter = Counter.getValue(); if (counter == 69) { Greenfoot.sto

whew! ok. thank you very much!

if ( Greenfoot.isKeyDown("2")){ if (Greenfoot.isKeyDown("2")) isLooping = !isLooping; if (isLooping) { java.awt.Color a; int r = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(255); int g = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(255); int b = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(255); int x = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(this.getWidth()); int y = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(this.getHeight()); int x1 = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(this.getWidth()); int y1 =

You'd do well to follow the tutorials here: http://www.greenfoot.org/doc They'll take you through the interface for Greenfoot and start you off with some basic coding.

CrabWorld in this example is your class - you could create a thousand different CrabWorld objects as far as Java is concerned and that would be perfectly legitimate. A method like addObject() needs to be called on a specific instance of CrabWorld, which in this case is what getWorld() returns (the world that's currently active in the scenario.) If you call it on the CrabWorld class instead, the compiler has no way of knowing whether you want the method called on one world object, which world object, or whether you want it called on all the CrabWorld objects! From the compiler's perspective

You need to access the player object from the Healthbar object. Or the other way around. Either you make a method in Player that returns the health value, e.g. public int getHealth() { return health; } and then call player.getHealth() from your Healthbar object. But you have to work out how to access the player object (not the class) from your Healthbar object. Or you make a method in Healthbar: public void setValue(int value) { currentValue = value; } and call that method from player whenever the value changes. Again, you
