thanks alot

Is this code in your active world?

Thank you so much

As I now perceive what you are trying to do, yes -- that would help. To move 5 squares per second, you will need an act counter and move one square every time the counter reaches 12 (resetting the counter to zero when you move). All movement controls should be taken in together and then a determination as to any given direction can be established. That is, if more than one key is down, no movement or no change in movement, depending on what

The getWorld method returns the world that the man is in, if any, and you said yourself that the man in in an animationStart world (not a gameOver world). In fact, I do not see where you are even creating a gameOver type world. Even if you are starting in a gameOver type world (which goes to a startUp world, then to an animationStart world), any information stored in the gameOver world is lost as there currently is no static content in the gameOver class and all references to any gameOver world are lost when going to the startUp world. There does not seem to be any need to constantly upda

Thanks for all the help, this is my first time using Greenfoot and i am learning as I go. I will try to use your suggestion to simplify the code

You will need to zero the alpha of each pixel individually. This can be done by using the 'setColorAt' method within for loops.

wow

Thanks, that worked perfectly!

This speed of execution is controlled by the speed slider for the specific scenario. At the normal speed of 50, one time step is somewhere around 1/60th of a second. That is, something between 55 and 60 act steps are executed each second. Please note that using Greenfoot.delay(int) will suspend the entire execution for the given time -- no actors will move; no code will be executed except for an empty loop that repeats itself until the given time has expired.
