alice-teacher Using events on WASD keys and ARROW keys problem

[Don Slater]

Interesting. It seems that the KeyPressListener and the ArrowKeyPressListener cannot be implemented at the same time. And it seems, in your example, anyway, that arrowKeyPressed overrides keyPress, but that may be an artifact of this particular implementation.

My suggestion is the you use only KeyPressListener, which gives you access to all keys on the keyboard, including the arrow keys. I have attached my solution.

Let me know if you have any questions…

All the best,
Don Slater

I have learned this at least by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
