I tried out the code for the two games and have successfully run the first game (bounce). The second game however did not run like how i wished it to. I followed the book’s instructions to the letter, used the GIMP software to create the images, saved it in a directory and saved the code in the same directory. The graphics came out fine but unfortunately I have not been able to get the stickman to move. I have followed the coding in the book to the letter and have checked my code against the coding in the book multiple times and i can see no mistakes.
The problem is with the indentation in your Stick Man class. If you look at the indentation of your code...
and then compare with mine...
...hopefully you'll see where you've gone wrong (if it's not immediately obvious, take a look at the vertical line coming down from the animate function in each of the code samples, and you'll see where the indentation isn't right). When I fixed the indentation on your code, it worked perfectly -- so you were almost there.
Hope that helps.
