Im having trouble with “smooth” tile by tile movement. I’ve got the basics down but on the very first one it stops after it reaches its point and continues on smoothly. I was wondering if thats because of the way I check if a key is pressed or if its the movement itself. Both the keyboard class and the player class are down below. I was hoping someone could help me with this issue. Thank you :).
package net.gasquake.game.input;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
public class Keyboard implements KeyListener {
public int keyDown, keyUp;
public boolean keyDown(int k) {
if (k != this.keyDown) {
return false;
}
this.keyDown = 0;
return true;
}
public boolean keyUp(int k) {
if (k != this.keyUp) {
return false;
}
this.keyUp = 0;
return true;
}
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
this.keyDown = e.getKeyCode();
}
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
this.keyUp = e.getKeyCode();
}
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {}
}

w = 64; h = 64;
}
public void update() {
if (oldX == x || oldY == y) {
if ((x % 64 == 0 && y % 64 == 0)) {
lockedMovement = false;
dx = 0; dy = 0;
}
}
if (this.oldX != this.x) {
this.oldX = this.x;
}
if (this.oldY != this.y) {
this.oldY = this.y;
}
if (!lockedMovement) {
if (zaffre.getKeyboard().keyDown(KeyEvent.VK_LEFT)) {
dx = -4;
lockedMovement = true;
}
if (zaffre.getKeyboard().keyDown(KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT)) {
dx = 4;
lockedMovement = true;
}
if (zaffre.getKeyboard().keyDown(KeyEvent.VK_UP)) {
dy = -4;
lockedMovement = true;
}
if (zaffre.getKeyboard().keyDown(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN)) {
dy = 4;
lockedMovement = true;
}
if (zaffre.getKeyboard().keyUp(KeyEvent.VK_LEFT)) {
dx = 0;
}
if (zaffre.getKeyboard().keyUp(KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT)) {
dx = 0;
}
if (zaffre.getKeyboard().keyUp(KeyEvent.VK_UP)) {
dy = 0;
}
if (zaffre.getKeyboard().keyUp(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN)) {
dy = 0;
}
}
move(dx, dy);
}
public void render(Graphics g) {
g.setColor(Color.white);
g.fillRect(x, y, w, h);
}
}
Can anyone tell me how to remedy this problem? Thanks btw I hope I made this thread correctly. Im new.
