YUM!

hmmm well its a secret =P ........ just kidding ill post the code here for u 2 see import greenfoot.*; // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, and Greenfoot) import java.awt.Font; /** * Counter that displays a number. * * @author Michael Kolling * @version 1.0.1 */ public class Counter extends Actor { private int value = 0; private int target = 0; private String text; private int stringLength; public Counter() { this(""); } public Counter(String prefix) { text = prefix; stringLength = (text.length() + 2) * 16; setImage(new GreenfootImage(stringLength, 24)); GreenfootImage image = getImage(); Font font = image.getFont(); image.setFont(font.deriveFont(24.0F)); // use larger font updateImage(); } public void act() { if(value < target) { value++; updateImage(); } else if(value > target) { value--; updateImage(); } } public void add(int score) { target += score; } public void subtract(int score) { target -= score; } public int getValue() { return value; } /** * Make the image */ private void updateImage() { GreenfootImage image = getImage(); image.clear(); image.drawString(text + value, 1, 18); } }

@Dalle, it doesn't work because you also need to create a new Scoreboard (or counter) object in the world class. It should be like Scoreboard s = new Scoreboard(java.lang.String) Something like that. The code posted here is from the balloon popping game, which is one of the scenarios that come with the greenfoot software. You can find scoreboard and counter there, go check it out ;)
