[java] my 2 player java game

Pretty neat, the whole keypress thing is a hardware thing - you can solve using USB only keyboard I think (no ps-2 connector plugged in) or at least that's how I've done it in the past for things like MAME. Rate++ :)

it's working now...it's pretty nice, I like how the ships have acceleration

so there's nothing I can do on my end other than require the user have a USB only keyboard? I want to be able to show this to potential employers, and I know they won't be impressed if they see a bug.

I think I'll go for the redesign. Maybe that little 'boost' ability can be done by just double-tapping forward.
The network idea is interesting though. I've never done that before.

I am after the same information that EGD Eric was. I don't believe that it's a hardware issue because I am making a JAVA version of one of my C++ games. In the C++ version, I used on many differant computers and keyboards, none of which were USB, the keyboard worked perfectly. It may be that JAVA is not as good at keyboard detection as C++, but it's not a hardware issue.

Anyway I'm using a USB keyboard and I still get the same problems with Erics game.

Does anyone know how to do key detection in JAVA so that it will pick up 6+ keys at a time?

I remember reading this in a DirectX book: Something about DirectInput being the solution to LOTS of keypresses. I dunno if they have DirectInput for Java, and even then, it'd only be usefull to windows users.

Can you post the Code you used to network the game?

its not networked (I wish!) Its just two players on the same keyboard.
