Emily,

That will require a little extra work. Your event handler method will have to have an if/else block, with roll left in the if block and roll right in the else block. Also, you need a boolean variable in the penguin that switches back and forth between true and false with each press. This variable becomes the condition for the if statement.

Is that helpful? I'll give more detail if you like.

Hi All -
Is it possible to have two different actions associated with one event?  My student wants the penguin to take one step with each pressing of the up arrow key.  In other words, the penguin would roll left with the first press, roll right with the second press.

Thank you again for all your help.
