Ah ok. I hiope by really quick you don't mean before the speed edit

Oh right I thought as I entered the room and the door was closing I would see something special going into the closing door. I was going as fast as humanly possible

Yeah, it's not humanly possible at the moment to go fast enough to catch it. Even if I found a software to hack java games to slow them down frame by frame keypress style (like a TAS) I would still be unable to see it.

It might actually be too fast . Because you can catch it doesn't meant someone else can . Maybe you're just godlike at those games. I personally can reach the door at the instant it finished closing and pressing E will do nothing. It might be due tom my computer being too fast, though. Face it, it's just too fast to be possible for more than 99% of the people.

Yeah it's just too difficult. I think if something is difficult to the point where only one person out of 100 video game fan can beat it after 10 tries it should just not be added altogether, since people will just hack it to solve it.

Builderboy, is there any chance you know how Greenfoot handles keyevents? i've recently tried making a program in java that moves a little character around the screen with the arrow keys, but when you press a key to move the character the animation is not smooth. there's a little pause at the beginning.

I do not actually, but Greenfoot is open source so you could check it out

could you tell me the name of the classes that handle key events in greenfoot? i found the source, but there are a ton of classes i have to search through to find something relating to key handling... so when a person presses the key E, what does that corrsepond to in your code?

edit: nevermind. i've found them.
edit2: no use there, they do what i've been doing..

I do IsKeyDown("E").  There is a method called getKey() which is what you probably found

i didn't find those methods so i guess i'll search again..
