I will be sure to post it soon, it's going to be small, but hopefully people will enjoy it.

Thanks guys!! When I use Greenfoot.mouseClicked(actor) it worked!! it sorta lags a bit before fully stopping.... BUT THANKS :D:D

Download my Scrolling SuperWorld scenario and check out the code of the 'Wombat' class which incorporates jumping/gravity.

If you create local variables to hold the amount of movement horizontally and vertically, you can revert backward one pixel at a time until the intersection is not longer. The code would depend on how you are moving your actor (using int or doubles; using move(int) or setLocation(int, int); range of speed; possible directions of move; etc.).

You might like to take a look at the The Greenroom , our community space for teachers using Greenfoot. There are many resources there to help you, as well as teachers from all over the world who are facing (or have faced) the same issues. Others please note that membership of the Greenroom is only for teachers.

Great! Glad to hear it.

Well, of course you don't have to create an extra class, but in my opinion it's clearer and easier to handle. :)

it's a countdown clock that counts down the seconds as soon as the games starts. here's the code if it's useful: import greenfoot.*; // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, Greenfoot and MouseInfo) import java.awt.Color; import java.util.Calendar; /** * Displays a digital clock in HH:MM:SS format. */ public class CountdownClock extends Actor { private int width = 60; // Dimensions of the display private int height = 20; private int prevSecond = -1; private int counter = 180; /** * The constructor creates the actor's image. */ pub

lol it's actually pretty simple :P thanks!

omg Thank You! I can't believe i didn't see that!

Thank you soooooooooooooo much!

Well for my class, I am getting them to go through basics of making this game: http://www.greenfoot.org/scenarios/5799 I would suggest in you picking a type of game first and then attempt making it. That way you get to grips with it before you let your students loose on it

Thanks dude! It worked :D
