Object and Keyboard help.

[loopsnhoops]

Hi I am working on a game and I need help making an object move via the w,a,s,d keys. Here is my code so far.

package Game;

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Frame;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Image;
import java.awt.Event;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class Maze{

public Maze(){
	
	int w = 800;
	int h = 800;
	
	
	Slate slate = new Slate(w,h);
	Graphics g = slate.getSlateGraphics();

	g.setColor(Color.yellow);
	
	Character hero = new Character(g,400,600,50,50);
	animate(slate,hero);
	//draw (g,0,0,w,h);
	slate.repaint();
	
	//anim(slate);
	
	
}
	
public static void draw(Graphics g, int x, int y, int width, int height){
	
	if (height < 3) return;
	
	g.drawOval(x, y, width, height);
	
	
}

//public static void anim (Slate slate){
	
	//Graphics g = slate.image.getGraphics();
	//g.setColor(Color.red);
	
	//for (int i =- 100; i<500; i+= 10){
		
		//g.fillOval(i, 100, 100, 100);
		//slate.repaint();
		//try{
			//Thread.sleep(50);
		//}catch (Exception e){}		
	//}
	
//}

public static void animate (Slate slate,Character c){
	
	Graphics g = slate.image.getGraphics();
	
	//if ()
	
}

	
}
	


class Slate extends JFrame{
	
	Image image;
	
public Slate(int w,int h){
	
	setBounds(800,800,w,h);
	setBackground(Color.yellow);
	setVisible(true);
	setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
	image = createImage (w,h);
	
}

public Graphics getSlateGraphics(){
	return image.getGraphics();
}
public void update (Graphics g){
	paint(g);
}
public void paint(Graphics g){
	if (image == null) return;
	g.drawImage(image,0,0,null);
}
}

and the second part

package Game;

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;

public class Character implements KeyListener {
	
	public Character(Graphics g,int x, int y, int w, int h){
		
		g.setColor(Color.black);
		g.fillOval(x, y, w, h);
		g.setColor(Color.red);
		g.fillOval(x+30, y+10, 10, 10);
		g.setColor(Color.red);
		g.fillOval(x+10, y+10, 10, 10);
		
		
		
	}

	@Override
	public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
		
		
		
	}

	@Override
	public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
		
		
	}

	@Override
	public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
		
		
	}

}

Your graphics code looks a bit different from most I've seen. Have you gone through any of the graphics tutorials on the Java tutorial site? If not, I recommend that you first start there, and also hit the section on Swing Timers while you're at it, so that you can drive the animation.
