This topic was suggested by @p2 and focusses on getting keypress events in java.
It also features some tile rendering code which I made previously.
It features a little walrii, who you can walk around a map.
Also pressing space will change the terrain.

Here is the code.... hopefully it will explain itself.... if not then just ask what you want explaining!

Many thanks

Here is the source code....... the first file contains all the keypress stuff, the second two files are the tile rendering stuff. Feel free to use both if you want

You will also need to include this image in your project (from p2's game)

You should make the Walrii so that he is animated when walking and facing all directions. :)

Tbh, I really dislike how Java handles it's inputs. Asynchronous input handling means that program state could change at any point in the frame unpredictably.

Also, granted this is supposed to be a simple implementation, it won't work very well when gui's are thrown into the mix (because gui's should get priority handling of events and should be able to "consume" them to stop the event from propagating). I mention this only because it's the exact issue that stopped my progress on Walriimon ;)

I've been trying to find the time to put together a small demo of this for a while now, actually.

i've totally given up on java now due to its seeming inability to be able to handle arrays  ???

*edit*
working with java again, it was working  :D

I don't see how. Just make the mouse moved event set an X and Y position var and make your game code check that. A graphical game should have nothing to do with GUIs / swing / awt.

Also, with LWJGL you can just get the mouse position as integers, no event handling required.

for whatever reasons I couldnt implement the code @kotu

I added another class named KeyControls with the following code:
package CodeW;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;

public class KeyControls implements KeyListener {
public static boolean m_keyDown = false;
public static boolean m_keyUp = false;
public static boolean m_keyLeft = false;
public static boolean m_keyRight = false;

public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
if(e.getKeyCode()==KeyEvent.VK_LEFT) {
System.out.println("LEFT ################################################################");
Player.move("left");
} else if(e.getKeyCode()==KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT) {
Player.move("right");
} else if(e.getKeyCode()==KeyEvent.VK_UP) {
Player.move("up");
} else if(e.getKeyCode()==KeyEvent.VK_DOWN) {
Player.move("up");
}
}
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e)
{
if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT) m_keyLeft = false;
else if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT) m_keyRight = false;
else if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_UP) m_keyUp = false;
else if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_DOWN) m_keyDown = false;
}
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e)
{
}
}

How should I call this function in the main ?
anything I try results in an error as KeyEvent e isnt defined

I know the code so far makes not much sense but I'm only testing if its even triggered right now (the LEFT#### text)

if you cant get a jframe set up, draw stuff to it, and receive input, i can only imagine how horrible your game code is _._   ~ c4ooo (14.11.2016 22:44:07)

Scipi

You don't call the KeyListener functions yourself, instead you register them with your canvas and they get called for you by the system when certain things happen.
Adding it looks something like this:

//...
frame.addKeyListener(keyControls);
//...
