Sorry, I should of included that in my first post. The problem is with overriding. The GameOfLifeCell act() overrides the act() in Cell. It doesn't matter if the method is empty, it will still override it. You can see this overriding taking place as well with the applyRule() method.

@danpost, Not at all. I appreciate all the help I've had on here. Just don't think I have the gift of programming.

Thank you danpost! I thought I'd try my hand at creating it and was able to make one from following the instructions you posted. If you use the code I copied in my first post, it will end up ignoring the bordering cells. Fixing it so you don't ignore the bordering cells requires making sure it doesn't cause ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception. This proves easy when altering the code I copied above a bit to use a 'for' loop for checking the locals.

Thanks!

Look closely at lines 190 and 191. Ask yourself, "What will be happening here?"; "Will this do what I need it to do?". By the way, 'removeObject' will not 'error' if the object is not in the world.

'int' code breakdown: <Code Omitted>Line 2 add an instance of that variable to all objects created within this class. Therefore any Enemy object created will have its very own variable to control the rate of damage. Line 4 runs the delay, if it is being used. If the delay time has expired, its value

Danpost! Please have a look at my discussion I created recently. I always expect great help from you. I want to use the existing code I copied+pasted there, but I want to avoid using the Greenfoot library function getNeighbours(…) in the Actor class. Then how to edit the exixting code? i will be very grateful to you with instant response! My discussion.

I just looked back at what I send earlier and i see that i havn't been clear enough, my actual problem is that when i keep the right key pressed, my player will stop, but the background will keep scrolling. I am looking for a way to make the background stop scrolling when my player hits a wall. thanks for the second tip btw, I was not really sure on how to make levels yet, altho I am not yet making levels with that tactic it will all go a lot easier!

Just to let you know, as an alternative (and this makes the coding even more simplistic): you could have the following:

I have a feeling that it is not locating the splashscreen image on the site. Remove the import and see if it uploads then.

It exits out of the act() method. Here is more information in ways 'return' is used.

playLoop() should work fine. Another topic that has a code example.

Like danpost posted above, you can remove the following from the act method in your bullet code as well (it is already done in the constructor). <Code Omitted> So the bullet fires off fine when you are not moving? I don't see why it wouldn't work while moving.
