Problem with kev's spaceinvaders

[Graziano Mesina]

Hi, I've created a simple gui that call the game class of spaceInvaders game http://www.cokeandcode.com/info/showsrc/showsrc.php?src=../spaceinvaders/org/newdawn/spaceinvaders/Game.java

The problem is that I can't play the game, it doesn't reply at any key events:

this is the code from my gui where I call game:

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)             {               Object src = e.getSource();                                                    if( src.equals(start) )                 {                 frameOwner.dispose();                                 Game game = new Game();                       g.gameLoop();                 }

start is a JButton, and frameOwner is the JFrame of the GUI

gameLoop() doesn't return. You've called it from the AWT event handler and hence the AWT event thread - which will then block any further AWT events. If you changed it to:

1   2   3   4   5   6   7

Thread t = new Thread() {     public void run() {          Game game = new Game();          game.gameLoop();     } } t.start();
