Okay, I'm running into another bug: the arrow keys aren't working. When the window is just sitting there, on the menu screen, they work fine. But when I click play and the run() method is called, the arrow keys don't work.

Thank you for being so helpful. I must have made about 50 posts in this thread.

EDIT: this is in Java, in case you're wondering.

I could think of a few things.

I think, perhaps, you lost focus on the interface object?

Perpetual loops blocking i/o,
but they wouldn't be outright blocking with java usually, unless the keylistener is both not in it's own thread and in the same thread as the run() method. And probably other stuff too.

[Kofthefens]

Hmmm... It might be in the same thread as run(). The relevant part of the code is:

I'm sorry I didn't condense it more for you, but it already is pretty condensed from over a 1000 lines of code.

Code: [Select]

public class GameWindow extends JPanel implements Runnable{
       
        JFrame window;
        KeyHandler keyHandler;
       
        public GameWindow(){
                window = new JFrame();
                keyHandler = new KeyHandler();
window.addKeyListener(keyHandler);
window.setFocusable(true);
window.requestFocus();
                //Then I make and add all the buttons, including the play button
        }

        public void newRun(){
                // does some stuff you don't care about like getting rid of buttons
                run()
        }

public void run(){

int period = 20;
long beforeTime, timeDiff, sleepTime;

beforeTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

running = true;


while (running){

gameUpdate();
gameRender();
paintScreen();

if (leftPressed){
leftArrowKeyPressed();
}

if (rightPressed){
rightArrowKeyPressed();
}

if (readyToClose){
gameOver();
}

timeDiff = System.currentTimeMillis() - beforeTime;
sleepTime = period - timeDiff;

if (sleepTime <= 0){
sleepTime = 5;
}

try{
Thread.sleep(sleepTime);
}catch (InterruptedException ex){}

beforeTime = System.currentTimeMillis();


if (gameIsOver){
gameOver();
}

}

} //End of run()


public class KeyHandler extends KeyAdapter{

public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e){
int keyCode = e.getKeyCode();
if((keyCode == KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE) || (keyCode == KeyEvent.VK_Q) ||
(keyCode == KeyEvent.VK_END) ){

readyToClose = true;
}

}
else if (keyCode == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT){

System.out.println("Right");
}
}

public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e){
int keyCode = e.getKeyCode();

if (keyCode == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT){
leftPressed = false;
//System.out.println("left");
}
else if (keyCode == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT){
rightPressed = false;
//System.out.println("Right");
}
}


}

The Button has focus, not the window.

Stuff like JTextbox Needs focus to receive keypresses.

So like, when it has the focus, the keypresses only go to that textbox, and stuff.
And therefore to none of the other Textboxes.

Focus is only held by a single Java Object, and it's not always the Window.

I can think of a couple ways to fix this, but most thorough is to do something with each new interface object. Either also pass it the Keylistener, make all of the buttons non-focusable, or have some sort of object that sits on top intercepting everything.

Well, after screwing around for a while, I have found that I have absolutely no idea what you mean. Could you explain please?

When you click the button, it takes the focus from the window.

It's also possibly to tab to the button accidentally? maybe?

When it takes focus, it also takes the keypresses.

And Eats them.

[Kofthefens]

That does make sense, but I didn't understand how to fix it. Sorry I was unclear.

[eerr]

That does make sense, but I didn't understand how to fix it. Sorry I was unclear.

How you do this effects what bugs you get in the future- and weather or not you know how to fix them.

Just Set
button.focusable= False and window.isfocused=true

[Kofthefens]

The bug remains. I just set all the buttons I have to setFocusable(false), and the window has

Code: [Select]

keyHandler = new KeyHandler();
window.addKeyListener(keyHandler);
window.setFocusable(true);
window.requestFocus();

but it still doesn't work. Thanks for your help, though.

So uh, Never, Ever, Ever, Ever, mix AWT with SWING.

Just so you know.
90% chance of that giving you problems if you aren't getting problems already.
But you probably know this. I don't think it's the problem though.

Any call to run() should create a new, seperate thread.
If you want to call the function without a new thread make a seperate function, and call that one more than once from the original run()

Doh-
You need to pass game window a new keyhandler.

Other than that- not enough information.

[Normandy]

Are you sure you meant

Code: [Select]

        public GameWindow(){
                window = new JFrame();
                keyHandler = new KeyHandler();
window.addKeyListener(keyHandler);
window.setFocusable(true);
window.requestFocus();
                //Then I make and add all the buttons, including the play button
        }And not:

Code: [Select]

        public GameWindow(){
                window = new JFrame();
                keyHandler = new KeyHandler();
window.addKeyListener(keyHandler);
window.setFocusable(true);
window.requestFocus();
window.add(this);
                //Then I make and add all the buttons, including the play button
        }this? You never actually add a GameWindow to the window frame that you've created.

As an aside, this is not an idiomatic way of using swing. What you should be doing is when the GameWindow (which extends JPanel - so it's not actually a window; windows are Frames, not Panels) is created, assign buttons to the GameWindow (i.e. this.add(myButton)), then in your main method create a JFrame and add the GameWindow to the newly created frame (i.e. GameWindow myGW = new GameWindow(); JFrame myFrame = new JFrame(); myFrame.add(myGW)). This is since each interface object in swing should generally only deal with its child elements (i.e. a panel shouldn't be creating its parent frame).

[Kofthefens]

Are you sure you meant
this? You never actually add a GameWindow to the window frame that you've created.

I have condensed a huge amount of the code; the GameWindow is added after you click play. I posted the full amount of the code a few pages back, though I have changed it around a fair bit since then. If you really want the most recent version, let me know and I would be happy to post it...

Here's the old version:

I have a feeling it's because you didn't declare leftPressed and rightPressed as volatile.

You also are using Thread wrong; a thread should either be constructed with a Runnable object (i.e. Thread myThread = new Thread(myRunnable)) or should have an overloaded run() function. Call myThread.start() to start the thread. As a rule, constructors should never be used to run anything but initialization code.

Sorry for the double post, but when I tried to add the new most recent version of the GameWindow class, it told me I exceeded the character limit. So:

Here is the most recent version of the gameWindow class. (It won't work with the old other classes, but it is the real brains of the program

Do you have every single class in one class? for real?

*meh nvm.

But I did manage to remove stuff untill nothing was left, and then input/output worked.

Or not. Implied work is implied. I can give it to you stripped down so far that the i/o works, but not much is left after my Rampage.
