How can i use UP and DOWN key?

[robmars]

Can i have any help please.. hmm is hard for me to move the ball through y axis. it seems all movements of my keys are in x axis.


heres the code for my applet:

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class snake extends Applet implements Runnable
{

	int x_pos = 30;			// x - Position des Balles
	int y_pos = 30;		// y - Position des Balles
	int x_speed = 1;
		int y_speed = 2;
	int radius = 20;		// Radius des Balles
	int appletsize_x = 300; // Größe des Applets in x - Richtung
	int appletsize_y = 300;	// Größe des Applets in y - Richtung


	private Image dbImage;
	private Graphics dbg;

	public void init()
	{
		setBackground (Color.blue);
	}

	public void start ()
	{
		
		Thread th = new Thread (this);
		// Starten des Threads
		th.start ();
	}

	public void stop()
	{

	}

	public void destroy()
	{

	}


	public boolean keyDown (Event e, int key)
	{
		
		if (key == Event.LEFT)
		{
			
			x_speed = -1;
		}
	
		else if (key == Event.RIGHT)
		{
		
			x_speed = 1;
		}
			if (key == Event.DOWN)
		{
			
			y_speed = -5;
		}
	
		else if (key == Event.UP)
		{
		
			y_speed = 5;
		}
	
		else if (key == 32)
		{
			x_speed = 0;
		}
		else
		{
		
			System.out.println ("Charakter: " + (char)key + " Integer Value: " + key);
		}

		return true;
	}

	public void run ()
	{
		
		Thread.currentThread().setPriority(Thread.MIN_PRIORITY);

		
		while (true)
		{
		
			if (x_pos > appletsize_x - radius)
			{
			
				x_speed = -1;
			}
			
			else if (x_pos < radius)
			{
				
				x_speed = +1;
			}

			
			x_pos += x_speed;
		
			repaint();

			try
			{
	
				Thread.sleep (20);
			}
			catch (InterruptedException ex)
			{
				// do nothing
			}

			
			Thread.currentThread().setPriority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY);
		}
	}

	
	public void update (Graphics g)
	{
		// Initialisierung des DoubleBuffers
		if (dbImage == null)
		{
			dbImage = createImage (this.getSize().width, this.getSize().height);
			dbg = dbImage.getGraphics ();
		}

		
		dbg.setColor (getBackground ());
		dbg.fillRect (0, 0, this.getSize().width, this.getSize().height);

	
		dbg.setColor (getForeground());
		paint (dbg);

		
		g.drawImage (dbImage, 0, 0, this);
	}

	public void paint (Graphics g)
	{
		g.setColor  (Color.red);

		g.fillOval (x_pos - radius, y_pos - radius, 2 * radius, 2 * radius);
	}
}

Unless I overlooked something, I don't see anywhere in your code where keyDown() will ever be called.

Add a KeyListener and listen for KeyEvents.
