I have created a public variable int in my Acting class called robotsDestroyed, what I want to do is, when I shoot the object I want the count to increase, but i am using the eat() method. Is there anyway to modify this so that i can add robotsDestroyed = robotsDestroyed +1; That way in the Act() method I can do: if(robotsDestroyed ==8){//end game} Im having trouble getting it to count basically. If you can think of any other way to do this, i would appreciate the help!

Where is the int saved?

There are at least three ways to do this: (1) put the variable 'robotsDestroyed' in the world class (where all robots created can access and change the value); (2) make the variable 'robotsDestroyed' a static int in the Acting class (where all robots share the one field); or, (3) create a counter (actor) object to hold the value of 'robotsDestroyed' (where all robots created can access and change the value and the value can be displayed).

btw you could use robotsDestroyed += 1; or robotsDestroyed++; instead of robotsDestroyed = robotsDestroyed +1;
