Simple Mobile Game in J2ME(Canvas Continued):-

In previous tutorial we learned about a simple canvas class.
In this tutoial we will try to create a simple gaming interface using Canvas.
In this code we have created a canvas class and created its object in our Midlet.
Inside the constructor SampleCanvas() , we read a image and then create a sprite ,which represent the moving item inside the game.
You can download sample sprite image from here .You have to paste it inside source(src) folder of your project.
Then whenever a key is pressed ,the canvas function keyPressed() is called automatically.
we define this function to detect the key pressed and then call the check function for the first time(when thread is not started ).
And thereafter it changes the direction of movement by changing keycode.
Check function is created to start the thread and hence the movement of sprite.
Thread ,when started calls the handleaction function which decides the direction  of movement of sprite according to the key pressed.
And finally repaint function changes the position of sprite accordingly.

We conclude this tutorial here and  will discuss in depth about various other provisions that can be made in subsequent tutorial.
