would you mind showing a turn(); method? please !

@proJaguar The turn() and move() methods are part of the Animal class in the crab scenario (not built in to Greenfoot itself). To see them, look at 'crab'. You can get that scenario from the web page of the Greenfoot book, here:

Oops - it didn't let me post the URL to the book web site. It is greenfoot [dot] org/book

For those of you who want to read the source code better:

In the 'more info' area is a link to a higher quality version of the video - there you can read the code. You can also download the source code for many videos if you follow that link.

You just sound like a steward on a plane

@ILykToDoDuhDrifting Agreed, it's over-abstracting everything, as unfortunately many graphics engines do nowadays.But you have to admit, it's still pretty cool, right?

[ILykToDoDuhDrifting]

this thing makes no sense.

it's a bad joke...

no way to teach programming..too complex, they just try to mask it the code/sweep the technical content (which is programming) under the carpet except rather than carpet, it's pixel art.

I want to make a car move the same way as your crab, with the arrow keys. How do I do this?

I try running greenfoot and get "Couldn't find bluej.boot class". Any ideas how I get the program running?

How did you make the ant simulation?
