Thread: ACM and another class

I'm curious why ACM isn't letting me create an object from a different class, maybe I am missing something?

my main class:

import java.awt.Color;
import acm.program.*;
import acm.graphics.*;
 
public class MyClass extends GraphicsProgram {
	private static final int WINDOW_W = 500;
	private static final int WINDOW_H = 500;
 
	public void run() {
		setSize(WINDOW_W, WINDOW_H);
		//setBackground(Color.BLACK);
 
		Player p;
		p = new Player();
		p.createPlayer();
	}
}

and my class to create an object:

import acm.graphics.*;
import acm.program.*;
import java.awt.Color;
 
public class Player extends GraphicsProgram {
	private static final double STARTX = -50;
	private static final double STARTY = -50;
	private static final double PLAYER_W = 100;
	private static final double PLAYER_H = 100;
 
	public void createPlayer() {
		GRect player = new GRect(PLAYER_W, PLAYER_H);
		player.setFillColor(Color.RED);
		player.setFilled(true);
		add(player);
	}
}

Any help is appreciated. I have also noticed when trying to extend 'ConsoleProgram' it does the same thing with line printing (except when using system.out) so i'm not sure what is going on

Welcome to the Forum! Thanks for taking the time to learn to post code correctly, and if you haven't already, please read this topic to see other useful info for newcomers.

ACM experience is rare here, although we've gotten 3 or 4 ACM questions in the last 6 months. It seems few people use ACM after they have to, and it's not clear that ACM as a learning tool has any benefit or whether its use encourages or discourages users to continue programming beyond the academic environment.

Perhaps your question can be generalized to Java, but we'll need to see the specific error message. What does, "ACM isn't letting me create an object from a different class," mean? If you're getting an error, post that exactly as it appears at your end. Perhaps from that we can help.
