I've made an arcade-style game that can be found here http://ukkosmyrsky.mine.nu/files/BoxBreaker.zip

However the game occassionally gets keyboard conflicts from time to time and I'd like to know how to eliminate them. Food for thought provided by google seems to be scarce at best. Any suggestions?

Game barely works at all. I can start a new game, release the ball, but when it comes into contact with the sides, it freezes. Heh.

Also, how can one help you prevent your error without knowing what's causing your error - i.e., the responsible code?

That's very odd. What kind of OS and JRE you are using? Because that freezing has never happened to me.

I was hoping there would be some info about key conflicts in general (when you are hitting multiple keys, it won't register them all).

I guess you are running Linux right? I tested it in Ubuntu and had the same problem until I turned sound off. Something to do with not finding the files in Linux.

Works fine in Windows though.
