Question on Graphics/JFrame/KeyEvents

[loopsnhoops]

I want the user to be able to control the oval on the screen with the arrow keys. Here is my code.

//main

package Game;

public class main {

public static void main(String[] args){

new Starter();

}

}
//initiator

package Game;

import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Starter extends JFrame implements ActionListener {

Starter(){

super("Game Selector");
JButton Close = new JButton("Close");
JButton maze = new JButton("Maze");
JButton idk = new JButton("idk");
JLabel tell = new JLabel(" Please Select A Game");
GridLayout Lay = new GridLayout(4,2);
setLayout(Lay);
add(tell);
add(maze);
add(idk);
add(Close);
this.setSize(400, 400); 
setVisible(true);


Close.setActionCommand("Close");
Close.addActionListener(this);
maze.setActionCommand("Maze");
maze.addActionListener(this);
idk.setActionCommand("idk");
idk.addActionListener(this);

}

@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

if("Close".equals(e.getActionCommand())){

System.exit(0);
setVisible(false);

}

if("Maze".equals(e.getActionCommand())){

new Maze();
setVisible(false); 

}

if("idk".equals(e.getActionCommand())){

//new idk();

}

}

}
//JFrame / graphics 1
Code:
package Game;

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.awt.image.*;

import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

public class Maze extends JFrame {

BufferedImage img;
Oval oval = new Oval();
JFrame frame; 
int x = 0;
int y = 0;
//Graphics g;
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
JComponent comp;


Maze(){

frame = new JFrame();
frame.setTitle("Maze");
frame.getContentPane();
frame.setSize(800,800);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOS E);
frame.setBackground(Color.yellow);
//setPreferredSize(new Dimension(800,800));
setBackground(Color.black);
frame.setVisible(true);


}


public void paintComponent(Graphics2D g) {

super.paintComponents(g);

Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
//img = (BufferedImage)(this.createImage(getWidth(),getHei ght()));
Graphics2D gc = img.createGraphics();
gc.setColor(Color.RED); 
oval.drawOval(gc); 


}









//public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
//	if(e.getKeyCode()==KeyEvent.VK_DOWN){
//	System.out.println("key down was pressed");
//	g.drawRect(x, y-1, 10, 10);
//	g.fillRect(x, y-1, 10, 10);
//	g.setColor(Color.black);
//	}
//	if(e.getKeyCode()==KeyEvent.VK_UP){
//	System.out.println(".");
//	g.drawRect(x, y+1, 10, 10);
//	g.fillRect(x, y+1, 10, 10);
//	g.setColor(Color.black);
//	}
//	if(e.getKeyCode()==KeyEvent.VK_LEFT){
//	System.out.println("k");
//	g.drawRect(x+1, y, 10, 10);
//	}
//	if(e.getKeyCode()==KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT){
//	 System.out.println("lol");
//	 g.drawRect(x-1, y, 10, 10);
//	}

//}
{

}
}

//oval creation / graphics2

package Game;

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.image.*;

public class Oval {
BufferedImage img;

public Oval() {
img = new BufferedImage(800, 800, BufferedImage.OPAQUE);
}

public void drawOval(Graphics a){
Graphics g = img.getGraphics();
int x = 0;
int y = 0;
g.setColor(Color.black);
g.drawOval(x, y, 10, 10);

}

public BufferedImage getOval() {
return img;
}

public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, null);
}	
}

Thanks, and I know it might be too long for a forum but the tutorials really haven't helped my understanding of Graphics.

Whats the problem? Is the even triggering? Does it even compile?

The problem is there is no oval drawn to the screen and I just want some tips on how to make the keys tie to the oval.

[PhQ]

Can you put your code in [code ][/code ] tags? (no spaces)
It will be easier to understand.

Ok, happy moderator? Anyways PhQ do you have any suggestions? They would be greatly appreciated. :)

Thanks
