Great. Thanks.

One thing is that by naming your bullet objects with numbers, you are probably confusing the compiler (naming convension has variable names start with lowercase letters only). Another is that you do no have a field name for the bullet created in the else portion of the code.

For anyone that comes across this looking for the same thing, take a look at our solution here -> Image within a circle Solution Outline - Created a new BufferedImage & got the Graphics2D object (The same size as the orignal image - Drew the Elipse that we wished to crop by. (In white) - Changed the Composite of the image to AlphaComposite.SrcAtop to allow us to clip any further drawing to the elipse. - Drew the original BufferedImage onto the new one Make sure to use the correct type when creating the BufferedImage, if you

You do not need seperate methods for 'downwards' and 'upwards'. All you need is to 'turn' the actor when the proper conditions are met. The conditions to turn around at the top of the screen are (1) the y-coordinate of the actor is zero and (2) the rotation of the actor is 270. The conditions to turn around at the bottom of the screen are (1) the y-coordinate of the actor is one less than the width of the world and (2) the rotation of the actor is 90. When either set of conditions is true, turn the actor around 180 degrees.

That means that 'spf' is null. It is the same problem - you are calling a method on a null reference.

What I see is a class with a Counter object called 'counter' that is never anything but 'null'; and, if the public method 'activate' is ever called, will cause a NullPointerException.

It'd seem that the method doesn't exist. You can use the following code for an atWorldEdge method. Replace the 10s as you wish. Generally, people want objects to bounce when the edge of it hits the very borders of the world, so I'd recommend replacing the 10s with half of the size in pixels of your image. public boolean atWorldEdge() { if(getX() < 10 || getX() > getWorld().getWidth() - 10) return true; if(getY() < 10 || getY() > getWorld().getHeight() - 10) return true; else return false; }

I am quite sure that the 'startMission' method IS working. It is only called once after the mouse click. Each method it calls will run one time. Therefore, you will have a 1 in 300 chance of one Food object appearing; a 1 in 600 chance of one Treasures object appearing; and, a 1 in 100 chance of one Person object appearing. You would be very lucky to have anything appear, which is why it seems like it is not working. I think what you wanted is that these object randomly, but continuously, appear throughout the game. In order to accomplish this, you will need a boolean fie

What you need to do is either control the rotation of the object so that the call to the 'move' method will move the object in the proper direction or keep track of the speed of the object in both the x and y directions. With either method, the proper adjustments to the rotation or value of the variables are needed when the object hits the walls.

oh no sorry, i was just wondering if anyone on this website could help, nothing to do with greenfoot.

Thanks, It worked fine now!

Thank YOU :D

It appears that what your instructor gave you was pseudo-code (code written in english form -- but not actual code). You have to 'convert' it to real code that the compiler can understand. Unless you summarized your code for the discussion. If this is the case, please post the code for the class. It may be that your bracketing is off.
