Hey everyone,
So for our final exams in my school's computer/digital science class, we've been tasked with creating something ambitious and interesting using only
Java and our Eclipse tool.
My partner and I thus decided to design a simple 2D game, and for it to be actually playable, we wanted our program to be able to pick up "live" keyboard inputs (using the WASD keys to move in-game -- or the up, down, left, right keys).
Of course there's the typical java.util.scanner which we could use but we were thinking that it would be really hectic to use for the game, considering that we're planning on putting menus and all that interface stuff inside our program.
Are there any "live" keyboard input classes out there that anyone knows about, that we could use? Also, any advice on game-making with java would be deeply appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your reply!
