Well here is some of the code, it should have enough to debug. The Boolean 'thrusts' is what makes the ship go forward or slowly stop. if its on it goes forward, if its off it stops. I change the boolean value within the Ship class, via method thrusts or noThrusts. In Java it works fine, JS it doesnt register the change in boolean variable i guess.
should I be using that redraw() that you have in your link?
