Ok,thanks for the help, It got be abit further in, maybe my friend will be able to help me the rest of the way.

Thank you very much, my problem has now been resolved.

Yes, but you must use a boolean to prevent flying (the canJump() method below should return a boolean)! Go back to using the isKeyDown method and drop the 'jumping' boolean and add one called 'upPressed'; set to true when 'up' key is found down, set to false when key is released. Use it in conjunction with finding standing ground to aid in timing of reset of jumping. <Code Omitted>where canJump() will check to make sure the actor

You have extra brackets. Remove the ones at lines 18 and 29. And make sure you have an 'i' for "import" at the first line.

I am going to basically repeat exactly what tyler and danpost said but make it more explicit. On line 29 of welcomeBanner, you make a local variable declaration timeGetStarted. What this means is that once you leave the if statement, the variable no longer exists (causing a symbol cannot find error). Like danpost mentioned you need to make a class variable (or one in which the variable exists as long as the object of the class exists ) To fix this you move the variable declaration on line 29 to somewhere like line 12. Second point that danpost made is that you need to call StartingUp() in the

Well, you could look at scenarios which already do use it. Some of SPower's scenario's use UserInfo or my Solitaire game does. Even though you do not really need it - the documentation is pretty well done.

Thanks! Worked perfectly!

thank you davmac that worked perfectly! turns out it was because i was trying to use repaint() not setPaintOrder(...). big help!

One reason to avoid static is that the value won't be reset when you use the "reset" button in Greenfoot. FWIW one of the tutorials (see the documentation) answers your question quite thoroughly.

Do a search for 'simple score class code'.

I think I got it....makes sense now....thank all of you for your help ..I really appreciate it....T

Thank you! That works. I tried so many numbers and even if (getX() == getWorld().getWidth() - (getWorld().getWidth()-1)) !
