    Default Jumping Issue

    There is a problem in my 2D slide scrolling game where the character can't jump until he reaches the enemy, I cant find in the code where anything would cause it.

    The Boards class-
        package OurGame;
     
        import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.util.ArrayList;

    public class Board extends JPanel implements ActionListener, Runnable {
                            Dude p;
                public Image img;
                Timer time;
                static int v = 327;
                Thread animator;
        Enemy en;
        Enemy en2;
                    boolean lost = false;
     
                boolean a = false;
                boolean done2 = false;
     
                static Font font = new Font("SanSerif", Font.BOLD, 24);
                public Board() {
                        p = new Dude();
                        addKeyListener(new AL());
                        setFocusable(true);
                        ImageIcon i = new ImageIcon("C:/Users/brian_000/Desktop/The Background.png");
                        img = i.getImage();
                        time = new Timer(5, this);
                        time.start();
                        en = new Enemy(942, 270, "C:/Users/brian_000/Desktop/REnemy.png");
                        en2 = new Enemy(942, 270, "C:/Users/brian_000/Desktop/REnemy.png");

    Post the code you are having problems with here on the forum and ask your questions about it. Be sure to wrap the code in code tags.

    the character can't jump until he reaches the enemy
    Can you explain what the problem is?
    Is the character supposed to jump any time but is restricted to when it reaches the enemy?

    How can the code be executed for testing? I don't see a main() method.

    yes the character is supposed to jump at any time but when when collision detection was added, something was switched up and now he can only jump after the enemies position.

    The code has no comments to describe its logic.
    Where is the section that is causing the problem?

    I shouldn't have to show you the frame class, something in those sections of classes are messed up to cause the problem in the game.

    How can the code be tested then?

    Can you add some comments to the code saying what it is supposed to do and where it is supposed to do it?
    For example: why should the character jump? What tells it to jump? What controls when and where it jumps?
