Really cool! Gave it a try:

I have come experience with Java Swing, and am currently working on another project with it, with some already posted on my account if you want to check them out. However, I have the time to help out with whatever you are working on if you like.

@DynamicSquid Thanks!

Pretty good, just change your class name from fort to Main for it to run in the compiler, otherwise declare a file named fort.java.

Java is a low level, statically typed, object-oriented language primarily used for backend applications. Although it doesn't work as closely with computer hardware as C/C++ or Assembly, it's still fairly versatile and can be compiled on numerous devices enabled by the JVM (Java virtual machine) and JRE (Java Runtime Environment).

@viraatvv Well I need to know what the project is about before deciding, and if I have time or not.

You wouldn't mind adding a description of what this is about? Curious at least.

@AbhayBhat I don't really mind. Do whatever you like.

@AbhayBhat Usually around from 12:00 pm to 5:30 pm, local time zone being EST(Toronto-Mississauga area);

Nice!

There are some problems in this code:

• You are using the hasNext() method, which is more favourable in a recursive nature if you want to continue receiving input, suitable for a while loop instead of an if statement
• You are using the read() function in conjunction with System.in along with the wrong input class (Scanner). Use a buffered reader instead to access read() method, or just replace it with in.nextChar()
• Why are you using a char to hold a string input? A name contains more than one character, and last time I checked char variables can only hold one character. Replace this with a string variable for reading input
• Lastly, what event handler are you trying to use? This program only facilitates input/output operations. If you want to trigger events with the keyboard, import the key listener class and implement the methods necessary.

Have you considered using a GUI to display some of your projects/games? That would be pretty cool if a bit tricky.

@Jakman Yeah you are probably right. I should cut down on some code.

@08KINPLIX I know how to utilize action listeners such as keypresses from the user to move whatever is on screen. I assume you want the steve avatar to only move up and down in response to player input?

I have some experience with java swing so I may be some help to you. Check out some of my recent posts if want to see. Hit me up if you want the help.

@DeaconBurgess I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yes, its possible to make any good game with java if you know what you're doing and have the patients to undertake such a project (Not that I'm ready for that).
