It doesn't really matter if you want levels or not. It was just an example. You can also save the room in which the user currently is, things which he picked up or whatever. So you have a dungeon with many rooms and each room should be generated randomly. I think the best way to start is to create one room randomly. You could create your rooms with arrays or the dungeon as a whole. In the first case, you would split your room into squares. Then you want to place objects on these squares. So for example 0=nothing, 1=block, 2=player, 3=enemy. A room could look like this then: 1 1 1 0 1 1

In line 33, you start with 'Key whiteKeys'. Shouldn't it be 'Key myKey'? You use 'myKey' in the next lines and 'whiteKeys' is the name of your array.

Thank you very much :D

Insert the following line at the end of the act method (line 48): <Code Omitted> As it is now, this method is never executed, so it doesn't check if the player is intersecting an enemy.

I think that if the parts of the sum were reversed, it would be different. If: <Code Omitted>you would get: i = 0 + 1

They might be stuck on a machine that they cannot update.

ow I didn't think of the Programming/other categories is there a way to change it now ?

glad I could help

or just import the greenfoot Label class

Any actions you actors take is dependent on any code relating to that actor. If you are wanting an explanation as to why any actor behaves the way it does, you need to show what code you are using to control that actor.

wow none of the pictures are even showing up

Thank you! That's helped a lot!

You cannot use 'getWorld' in the constructor of the Actor subclass. The object must be created (or, the constructor is executed) prior to the actor ever being placed into a world. So, 'getWorld' will return a 'null' value at that time. There are several ways to retrieve the value of the 'lives' field of the Unit object (or maybe you can just set the value of the 'lives' field of the HealthBar object to the appropriate value literally ('public byte lives = 5;', for example). If you must get the value directly from the Unit object, then you can do so in the 'addedToWorld' method. Like the '

In my last code-set posted (the final 4-liner), move line 1 outside the method and set its value to 1 or -1. Check he the same value for changing direction (the inserted code between lines 3 and 4), but you now have dual conditions for changing each way. If currently moving toward a specific edge and the new coordinate reaches that edge, then change directions. You will need a set of dual conditions for each possible edge that the object can reach.

Thank you very much :D
