    Unhappy Basic Java maze game

    Hi there, I really could use some help to get a simple text based java maze game to work properly. I understand all the logic fine, however im finding java really hard compared to C# which i find a breeze for some reason. The game I'm trying to create is supposed to read the maze layout from a ".txt" file and then display it on the screen however it must store the values in some kind of 2D array so that it can check for the player moving into walls. Then obviosly the main problem im facing now, well i think its the main problem with my game is that I cant get the keyboard inputs to change to values e.g if the "w" key is pressed then to check if the character in the array position 1 up in the y is a wall or space then if its a space change that value to the players value and the players last location to a space.

    heres the code i have so far remember im not that good at this and some of this coude probably doesnt do anything or just complicates things however any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The TextIO class doesn't need to be changed, well as far as i belive.

    	 * TextIO provides a set of static methods for reading and writing text.  This version of TextIO
    	 * is an alternative to the basic version (which uses standard input and standard output for its
    	 * basic IO operations).  When this version is used, a window appears on the screen. This window
    	 * simulates standard IO when it is used by TextIO:  When TextIO writes to "standard output", the 
    	 * output actually goes to the window.  When TextIO reads from "standard input", the input actually
    	 * comes from input typed into the window by the user.  This is the default behavior, but it is
    	 * possible to redirect the IO to files or to other input and output streams.  When the (simulated)
    	 * standard input and output streams are being used, the input methods will not produce an error; 
    	 * instead, the user is repeatedly prompted for input until a legal input is entered.   For the most part,
    	 * any other error will be translated into an IllegalArguementException.  Note that when this version of
    	 * TextIO is used, calls to the output methods in TextIO are not equivalent to calls to methods in 
    	 * System.out; output to System.out still goes to the usual standard output.
    	 * <p>The window in which IO takes place remains open until it is closed by the user, even after
    	 * the program that used TextIO ends.
    	 * <p>This class does not use optimal Java programming practices.  It is designed specifically to be easily
    	 * usable even by a beginning programmer who has not yet learned about objects and exceptions.  Therefore, 
    	 * everything is in a single source file, all the methods are static methods, and none of the methods throw 
    	 * exceptions that would require try...catch statements.  Also for this reason, all exceptions are converted 
    	 * into IllegalArgumentExceptions, even when this exception type doesn't really make sense.
    	 * <p>When this version of TextIO is compiled, a rather large number of .class files are produced.  The
    	 * class files all have names beginning with "TextIO".  All of the class files are required for TextIO
    	 * to run successfully.
    	 * <p>This class requires Java 5.0 or higher. (A previous version of TextIO required only Java 1.1;
    	 * this version should work with any source code that used the previous version, but it has some new
    	 * features, including the type of formatted output that was introduced in Java 5 and the ability to
    	 * use files and streams.)
