Hi all,

What i need to do is have slick listen to keyboard input and add each keystroke to a string variable. Anyone know how to do this in slick?

#2 

Input i = GameContainer.getInput()

i.addKeyListener(new MyKeyListener());

class MyInputListener implements KeyListener {
    public void keyPressed(int key, char c) {
        
    }

    public void keyReleased(int key, char c) {
        
    }
}

Thank you for the help Ra,

I Have added in these classes and methods but im still unsure of the work flow.

Could you add a line of code that prints the keyPressed to screen for example?

Sorry im really stuck on this one.

The keyPressed and keyReleased methods are called as soon as a key is pressed/released. Not much more to it. :slight_smile:


public void keyPressed(int key, char c) {
    System.out.println("You just pressed: " + c);
}
