Well, here is the issue. I am expirenced in the world of Java now (that is how my teacher describes it..) and I have yet to work much with KeyEvent. I am trying to make a simple game involving moving a small object (a fillRect object) around on the screen. The problem is, what to I compare for in the KeyEvent method to find what directional arrown was pressed??? Note this is my KeyEvent code, now I just need the value to test for via if statement and I'll have this whole project done.. anyone??? Thanks for your time in advance...

(Toggle Plain Text)

public void keyPressed(KeyEvent event)
{
     if(event.getKeyText(event.getKeyCode()) == ?????)  //I don't know what to test for..
     {
		
     }
} //Note that I'm looking for the left, right, up and down keys here..
