@Builderboy2005 I've seen your scenarios, and they're awesome! Could you, perhaps, have a look at my issue to do with Arrays? Really need some help! Cheers.

A 'return' statement is just that. It is a branching statement the does an immediate exit from the current method. So, let us say that if 'timeToStop()' is a method that returns a true/false value by doing a check to see if the conditions are met to stop the simulation, then in an act() method you could have (in either the world or an actors):<Code Omitted>The return statement prevents any more statements in the method from executing, which in turn allows the system to register the 'sto

Many thanks to you both and danpost in particular (I like your fractal) - I see my error(s) and I'll correct them and move on or report back if I'm stuck.

Depending on what licenses let people do, Notepad++ has this minimizing sections feature and it's open source. If anyone takes a look through the source they might get a good prototype.

It changes depending on exactly what you want to do. But if you want to take a look at how somebody else did it, take a look at this

Hi Gazzah, Assuming you already have a reference to 'player' from your Enemy, then you can simply do: playerX = player.getX(); playerY = player.getY(); If you don't already that reference, then you have another problem to solve first (and from your second question, I suspect that's the case). First of all, take a look at one of the tutorials: http://www.greenfoot.org/doc/howto-1 (And perhaps

It works now! Thank you so much to everyone who helped. Now I will add a hit counter.

If you create a class that contains a static method for getting a value and also another for modifying it you can achieve it. Something like <Code Omitted> And in other classes you can call it with; <Code Omitted> And all the other commands, and this would stay consistent across all your classes. Be carefu

never mind i fixed my problem :)

Tylers, consider pressing CTRL + SHIFT+ I (please note that it is an i not an L), when inside the editor - this will attempt to fix the indentation of your class, and if you notice lines totally off with what you expect (a method's innards should be one indent more, and the closing bracket same as the methods beginning). That way you can tell if your methods start/end in the right places.

Put it in the act() method of your scoreboard. If your scoreboard has an instance variable for the score named 'score', use 'score = c.getValue();'. When creating the scoreboard just initialize the score to zero.

You're trying to make it shoot only a few times a second? Try this: Add a variable of type "int" called timeTillCanFire in your player class: <Code Omitted>After that, in your "fire()" method, do this:

Check the my reply to 'Identifier expected'.

thx

I moved the code into the world, and it works now! Thanks to everyone who helped!
