In a game I am making, I would like the user to input a value several times throughout. I have tried the Greenfoot.ask method but I would like to use the terminal to ask for the user input as there is a input box there. Would this be possible?

(1) Do you call this GameOver method from the act method? (2) Did you place the gameover.wav sound file into the sounds folder of your project folder?

Paint Order for instance
