Okay, I was thinking the check for click was in the FrogHitter method -- apparently not; and I did not (and still do not) see anything detecting a mouse click in the Life class. Wait, I remember, it was in a FrogHunter class. Just remove the 'FrogHitter();' line from the Life class.

OMG I love you right now - it worked! Thanks so much, saved me and my friend a couple of hours of thinking. Sometimes it's easier than it seems :D

You are right, because I observed that more than one value is displayed after the instruction "System.out.println(nr);" is execute once. What can I do to freez its value, so when "space" is pressed to keep only one value which will return?

My Value Display Tutorial explains how to create usable health bars and heart bars. The game over screen can be just a separate World subclass that is instantiated and activated when needed.

Your "Word" variable is never getting set to any value, so it contains null (no object). When the following line runs: <Code Omitted> `Word' is still null, so this is an error. You must supply an actual string to the drawString method (even if it is the "empty" string; that is still different from no string at all!). Danpost's suggested change should solve the problem.

Thank you my score class is working now.

Scrolling is discussed here.

Usually, the actor is moved, then if found intersecting an obstacle, it is moved back off it. Very basically, something like this: <Code Omitted>

I don't know how to emboss an image with code, but the method you have above just creates an image then returns it. On lines 5 and 6 you create an image with the same dimensions as the one specified, then on line 56 you return it - you don't do anything with it in between. I don't know if this method can work at all since I haven't tried it but maybe if you change the 'bi's to 'dst's it will work (besides for lines 1, 2, and 3).

Thank you

Thank you!

The problem is the use of 'getKey'. You are using it for two different things within one act step. The only time the second call to it returns the same as the first is when it returns 'null'. Otherwise, when the first time does return a key, the second time will return either 'null' or a different key (if more than one was registered before a call to 'getKey' was able to get the first). You will need to track the state of the keys ("c" and "space") in their respective classes and determine when the state of each changes (using either the press or the release of the key as the condition to

i took the line out when it didn't work, but i had used Character character = new Character(); addObject(character, 598, 488); so it didn't work, but now it works great, thank you so much!

Oh yes thanks, I found the exact same way you wrote I time ago in another discussion This works, thanks
