Hello, I know this is a biggy but I am creating a multi-world point and click game for a computing project. I'm pretty much starting from scratch with Greenfoot and completely starting from scratch with java. I am creating a game that goes from one level to another by clicking an image to advance to the next level. It will have a help screen, menu screen and finish screen. I would like music and the ability to mute the music through a button. I know the basics of Greenfoot but knowing where to put code and how to make certain things work would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

I want my sprites to move along when i side scroll, but I dont know how to do it. when my character reaches the border to start scrolling, he freezes it place and move along with the screen. Code import greenfoot.*; // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, Greenfoot and MouseInfo) /** * Superclass of all actors. * * @author Bertie Wheen * @version 0.1 */ public class Erm extends Actor { public boolean shouldScroll; //A boolean to determine if scrolling is needed, according to how far left/right across the screen the player is. public int playerX; //The player's x value public Erm(){ } public void act() { updateShouldScroll(100, 900); //This should be in the act method so that the shouldScroll boolean is constantly updated. } /** * This method checks the players x position and sets the shouldScroll boolean accordingly. * @param The x value limits within which scrolling is not required for left/right movement. */ public void updateShouldScroll(int minX, int maxX) { Background theWorld = (Background) getWorld(); Player player = (Player) theWorld.getPlayer(); playerX = player.getX(); if(playerX <= minX || playerX >= maxX) { shouldScroll = true; } else { shouldScroll = false; } if(shouldScroll == true && (playerX >= 900 && Greenfoot.isKeyDown("a")) || (playerX <= 100 && Greenfoot.isKeyDown("d"))) { shouldScroll = false; } } }

Im trying to create a math/car. The game asks the user math questions. There is a race track at the top of the world with two car classes. I want one car to start moving towards a finish line at a rate while the other car stays still and every time the user answers the right question the car that is still moves. the goal is to answer the questions faster and get the car towards the finish race faster than the car that is already moving. I don't know how to make the questions appear. Or make the cars move like I want them to. Im very new to programming and this is a school project.

Hi, I'm trying to set an image to my actor by either <Code Omitted> or by manually doing it in right click, "Set Image". However, the image never appears to be set and when I do it manually, the image file disappears from the images folder. I'm not sure why this is happening??

Done. Found another solution for my problem.
