what is java's corresponding method for c's getch()
 

hi... i intended to do a game in java.. In that i needed some keyboard controls for making the movements like up, down, left and right using some keys.. But actually, i need something like C's getch() function to take the keyboard strokes... can anyone find out the corresponding method in java or any other construct which helps in doing so..

If you want to act on keys being pressed, you need to do this with event handling in Java. This class might be useful.
