Some Questions about KeyEvent

Question

I was just playing around with KeyListeners, and I noticed that on most tutorials on most websites, It requires use of a JTextArea which is good for typing stuff in, but what about when you want to make, a game for instance. How would you use KeyListeners for that? Sorry in advance if the question is a little vague.

Answer 1

This is indeed a very vague question. Deserves a vague answer.

You can add your keylistener to a JPanel in which your game runs. Example code here: http://zetcode.com/tutorials/javagamestutorial/movingsprites/
