Welcome to the Ranch!
The error means that class BallPanel does not have a method named setColor that takes a java.awt.Color as its argument.
You probably want to call that method on the ball, because class Ball does have that method:
instead of:
in line 128 of BallWorld.java.

Hi,
The error seems to be pretty straight forward and obvious.
Inside your class BallWorld at line 128, i.e, inside the BallPanel class, there is a function call setColor(Color.red); However, there is no such method called setColor inside the BallPanel class. You can add that method.

Thanks!
Ah yes, that makes sense. All right, now that I see it, it's actually pretty obvious. Thanks again.
