    3. Game #2, Rocket Commander > Time for action — modifying the gameClasses file

    Time for action — modifying the gameClasses file

    To modify the gameClasses file, follow the ensuing steps:

    1. Open the gameClasses.monkey file.
    2. Add an Import statement for the explosionClass.monkey file.
      Import rocketClass
Import explosionClass
    3. Save the file and close it.

    What just happened?

    You have added the explosion class to the game, so that it can be used later on.

    Modifying the rocket class

    Once a rocket reaches its target position, a new explosion has to be created there. We need to add some code inside the rocket class' Update method.
