    Please post the code you have questions about here on the forum.
    Be sure to wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.


    How have you tried debugging the code to see what it is doing?
    I add println statements to print out the values of variables to see what the computer sees as the code executes.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    The posted code does not compile: Missing class Velocity

    Also there is no main() method for execution.

    I get this message: There is an IOException!

    All catch blocks should call the printStackTrace() method.

    Just eye-balling your code, you look to be calling Thread.sleep(...) on the Swing event thread and look to be using a loop that is effectively while (true), also on the Swing event thread, both of which will put your entire application to sleep, something I don't think you desire. If I am mis-understanding your code, please clarify. Please look at the tutorial on Concurrency in Swing for more details on the Swing event thread.

    Also for your next questions on this and other forums, please avoid using terms like "urgent" or ASAP. Remember that we're all volunteers, that no one likes to feel rushed, and that we strongly believe that *all* questions on this site are equally important, and that no question should be considered more urgent or important than the next. If you leave this out, and instead use an informative heading for your question, one that summarizes your problem, you'll likely get better help.

    Sorry for double posting, but you're getting an IOException because the image files for the background and the bird are not in your directory. It would be much easier if you imported the .zip file I attached above into your IDE, as it contains these files.

    I have it executing now. It looks like you need to learn how to debug your code to see why it is doing what it is doing. I debug code by adding lots of println statements that print out the values of important variables that control what the code is doing. It is an iterative process. By that I mean that as you see what the code is doing, it is often necessary to print out more information to learn more.
    Start with this:
    the bird just continues to go back to the slingshot
    What variables control the bird going back? How do their values change as the code executes?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    I just cannot relaunch it.
    Why not? What value of what variable controls the relaunch?
