I copied and modified the previous code given (as far as trailing spaces are concerned). The '-1' is not absolutely necessary, but will prevent the last column of pixels in the image of the player from being off the right edge of the world.

I don't understand what you mean? What's the first time you open it? I would guess that the first time you open it, is when you click on the project.greenfoot file in your program directory, but then what's the second time?

Yeah I know. I just realised that. Thanks for your help!

Thanks very much! Works perfectly now.

I uploaded my finished project here: http://www.greenfoot.org/scenarios/19215 if you are interested in checking it out. Thanks a lot for all the help!

nevermind I figured it out

With your last if's your assigning ('=') timer to 0 and counter which is an instance of Counter to 0 (instead of '=='), so that won't work. You have to use 1 instance of counter for that whole level (or game), not create a new one every act cycle. Then, if the level is over and the score value of that counter is 0 then it's game over.

It doesn't have to be in the world for you to access the variable. It may seem so from what I've shown above.

It would be quite difficult to replicate that behavior when using 'setLocation', 'xSpeed' and 'ySpeed'. It would be much easier using 'turn' and 'move' commands. Also, tracking the speed and location coordinates in a more accurate manner would go a long way to improving the movement. That is, i

Right, didn't see that. Try using 'rlp.setLocation(...' Or just like danpost suggested, just always have the same size and let the rest be transparent.

You only want to jump when the player is on the ground. Place that condition on the ability to jump.

Remove lines 3, 9, 15, and 19. Then switch '3' and '-3' on lines 16 and 20.

Thank you!

Did you change the execution speed of the scenario?

nevermind Nosson1459's solution worked perfectly and because my approach on adding a point when the meteor hits the left edge doesnt work ill try yours and come back with some results thank you all for your replies
