If the hammer is following your mouse, then you most probably will be clicking on the hammer and not the pig. At least, that will be the case if you have 'setPaintOrder' in your world with Hammer.class first (which is ok).

Thank you very much! I was thinking it was much more complicated than that!

Oh wow, I feel silly. Thank you so much, that makes a lot more sense. You're awesome @davmac !!!!

At least show the world class, which should show how your objects are created. It would be best to have attempted code for what you are having problems with included in the class so one can get a general idea of what you are trying to do. Explain where you are having difficulty and how is should be compared to how it is currently behaving.

It will take the Y of the platform minus half the height of its image AND half the height of the player image.

Just to expound a bit more, changing the statement to avoid the 'new boolean' doesn't work for me; this workaround might be Java version dependent. A workaround that should work for all Java versions is to declare the field either public or private, eg: <Code Omitted>

This is the classic 'two methods that remove the actor' problem. If you have two methods that each can remove the actor (the bullet,, in your case) from the world (methods are 'disappear' and 'destroy'), then if one remove the object, the other one will throw either the IllegalStateException or a NullPointerException. This can be solved by testing if the actor is still in the world after the first method is called (checking the return of 'getWorld' for 'null').

I will just share here when I have time. Thanks for helping!

LOL! Never mind, I figured it out. I forgot to use the "setRotation" command. :-P

At least two things can cause missing the target destination (1) the limitation of rotation to int values and (2) the limitation of pixels on your screen. How fast your actor moves can limit direction because of (2). For example, at a speed of 1, you actor can only go at a multiple of 45 degrees to 8 possible locations at a time -- the pixels to either side, above or below and to the four nearest pixels along the diagonals. At a speed of 2, you cannot add more than 8 new possible directions to go in; so, the number of possible directions your actor can go is still quite limited. You can

Line 8 should be: <Code Omitted>with the round brackets after the class name.

Fantastic work!

If the game will be beatable at level 9 then you will have to incorporate another way to exit the levels. Maybe just asking if no boids are in the world is enough. <Code Omitted>You could at that point then just increase the number of boids per level.
