application game and keyboard help

I am trying to make a game for the 4kb contest

but I cant get the keyboard to work. I have only

programmed applets before and it seems theres not the

same way to use a keyboard in applications?

does anyone know what to do to get keyboard input

in an application? the game uses fullscreen in java 1.4.1

thanks in advance.

Well, the obvious answer is to have someone type into an object that accepts keyboard input like a textbox and hit a button when all inputs are done.Would you be a little more specific on what you want please?

There is NO difference between key input in an applet, and key input in an application.

3 bits of code is all you need

class SomeClass implements KeyListener

addKeyListener(this);

public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {}

public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {}

public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {}
