how to move with a key stroke

Maaother · April 2018

PImage ship;
PImage iceberg;

void setup() {
  size(758,403);
  background(#43B3ED);

  // Images of the game
  ship = loadImage("ShipObject.png");
  iceberg= loadImage("iceberg_object.png");
}

void draw() {
  image(ship, 0, 52);
  image(iceberg,250,52);
}

how do I move the ship with the "W" "A" "D" keys?

well, currently you are drawing a ship at a constant position

image(ship, 0, 52);

you need to make that position variable... so add two variables, x and y...

Do some reading

since your task is to have a class Ship { , I suggest to do the tutorial on objects

it's very good.

https://www.processing.org/tutorials/objects/

read the first 5 tutorials too to get an understanding

https://www.processing.org/tutorials/

What you have to do

here you will learn that the object ship is displayed with x,y position

2 variables instead of 0,52 should be in your class Ship.

then on a key stroke say x++; or y++; etc. to alter the position. E.g. in draw ship.x++; or ship.y++; etc.

show your entire code then.

it's unwise that you start a new discussion on the same topic. it's also unwise that you deleted the homework description from the previous discussion

but we can lead you through

Best regards, Chrisir ;-)

see reference for keyPressed and key=='w' etc.
