Importing custom classes causes compile error

[Mike Oliver]

I'm going to try and repost this. For some reason my original topic
disappeared.

I am trying to clean up my robot code and make it more reusable by creating
custom classes. Unfortunately I cant figure out how to access the
functions once they are imported. I get compile errors.
Robowiki and repository I'm sure would allow me to figure this out, but
since they are both down, I have limited solutions. Apologies for such a
newb question but any help would be appreciated.

myUtils.java (compiles)
package mo;
import robocode.*;

public class myUtils extends AdvancedRobot{
public void spin() {
setTurnRight(10000);
}
}


myBot2.java (doesnt compile)
package mo;
import robocode.*;
import mo.myUtils;

public class myBot2 {
public void run() {
while(true) {
spin();
}
}
}


Compile Error:

The method spin() is undefined for the type myBot2

Hi Mike,

Your messages are not disappearing. They just need to pass moderation so
this forum is not polluted with spam. :-)

Your myBot class must extend your myUtils class, which contains your spin()
method, but also make sure that you extend the AdvancedRobot class. :-)

Cheers,
