    Default Tetris KeyListener Problem

    Hi I'm currently building a Tetris game (still a work in progress), but my KeyListener won't work, I've never used a KeyListener on a program this big and am unsure if i have done something wrong. Currently the game runs however, the KeyListener does nothing. Can someone please point out my mistake? I changed the color of everything pertaining to the keyListener to red(only keyListener code is in the first 2 classes), and the smileys symbolize the end of a class (sorry couldn't find line breaks)

    Default Re: Tetris KeyListener Problem

    First, please use the code highlight tags (see the link in my signature entitled getting help). Second, that is way too much code for us to go through - I highly recommend creating an SSCCE that demonstrates the problem. All that being said, a common problem for KeyListeners is that the component must have focus for them to fire. Thus I recommend either calling requestFocus on the component, or use KeyBindings instead.
