I just noticed your subsequent post above (the one immediately following your initial post). The scoreboard does not need to see the horcrux. Remove lines 4 and 5 from the 'act' method of the ScoreBoard class (as shown above). Then change the name from 'act' to 'updateImage'. Finally, change the 'addScore' method to this: <Code Omitted>Also, you should have a constructor for the class (to set the initial image): <Code Omitted>Now, let me understand what you are trying to do in the

Thanks! Very helpful @danpost

The class name should start with an uppercase letter. So change 'health' to 'Health' although 'Healthbar' would be better. <Code Omitted> In the loseHealth-method, you could add the following line (before the call to the update-method) to decrease the health: <Code Omitted>

thanks a lot

Buttons should remain fairly dumb in that they should only react to mouse actions, if anything -- altering their image depending on what the mouse is doing (mouse hovering state or mouse button pressed state). The world is what should control the main actions of the simulation -- checking for clicks on buttons currently in the world and responding to them. The world should also hold a reference to the correct button that answers the current question. Let us say you have a Text class whose objects can display the questions as they are posed and a Button class whose objects can display the

Thanks, Dan!

Your java control panel needs to first allow java content to be shown; as well as needing security level at 'High' (not 'Very High') and 'http://www.greenfoot.org/' needs to be added to the 'Exception Sites' list. All these setting are in the 'Security' tab of the java control panel.

NEVERMIND, found a rogue statement that was setting finishedDialogue to true when it shouldn't be. All fixed.

Open up the greenfoot application and load your project. Then, use the menubar and select "Edit/Import class...". Finally, select the SmoothMover class and click on the 'Import' button. As an alternative to using that class, you could just save the original location of the bullet and add a step counter as follows:

Thanks it works now

You need the java security status on 'High' -- not 'Very High'. You also, on the same panel, need to have the checkbox that enables Java content in the browser checked and 'http://www.greenfoot.org/' in the Exception Site List.

If you are talking about the scoreboard that uses the UserInfo class, then the problem is that the latest updates on java have tighter security and the UserInfo storage server is not accessible to the scenarios on the si

Thank you!

Oh, I got it working! Thank you so much Dan! I'll probably ask more questions a bit later after I do a few more things with the game. Thank you!

The only way the Crab class would show up in the "Other classes" area is if you removed what class it extended or changed it to something other than Actor or World. Just make sure you have the class extending the Actor class. If you have issues with bringing it back, post the code for the class so we might be able to tell what is happening and why it is not showing up where you want it to.
