Ending game when eaten

I have a two player game, and I am trying to make it end when not one, but both are eaten, in whatever order it happens. I put in the basic: public void lookForPlayers() { if { Greenfoot.stop(); } } But am unsure on how to make it return when both are gone. (This script is in the class which actually eats the players).

In which class is this method? And I advice this: 
public void act()
{
     checkPlayers();
}

private void checkPlayers()
{
     if (getObjects(Player.class).isEmpty()) {
          Greenfoot.stop();
     }
}
do this in a subclass of world. Note that I used getObjects(Player.class) where Player is the class of the 2 players which can be killed.

And next time, if you want to add code in a discussion, do it between {code} and {/code} tags, and replace the { and } by .

public void lookForPlayers()

       if

           Greenfoot.stop();
       }
    }
Ah... thanks. I'll try the code out.

When you say, (Player.class) represents the class of the two players, do you mean I should have one class that counts for both players?

You could do that, but you can also do it for both: 
private void checkPlayers()
{
     if (getObjects(Player1.class).isEmpty() && getObjects(Player2.class).isEmpty()) {
          Greenfoot.stop();
     }
}

Maybe there's another script counteracting it, but it isn't working dispite being correct...

  • Did you put it in your world class?
  • Is it called every act cycle in the world subclass?

I put it in a new world class, and do you mean is it called as in is that it's name?

No, called like this: 
checkPlayers();
from to call a method :)

Maybe you need to set a breakpoint on this line: 
if (getObjects(Player1.class).isEmpty() && getObjects(Player2.class).isEmpty()) {

:/ Hasn't done anything. By the way, it didn't like the '&&' so i took it out, would that change anything?

Yes: you would get this: 
if (getObjects(Player1.class).isEmpty() getObjects(Player2.class).isEmpty()) {
which won't compile. And the fact that it didn't do anything meant that the line wasn't executed, can you show me all the code of your world class?
