hey, i am just playing around, and trying to make a fake computer desktop game, where u can activate different things, like a real computer. Just playing around, not being really serious. But I seem to have hit a problem.
I am making the arrow keys move the arrow on the screen for the time being, the mouse will be the one to move the arrow later(figure out how to do that). but when i press the arrow keys, it does not move the arrow. Could someone please help, i am new at the coding business.
I only set the controlling arrows for the up and left arrows so far. Here is the code. I dont see anything wrong with it, but i figured people that know more than me might see a problem. Thanks for the help! :D
Code:
