That's actually the exact control scheme I was going for.  I was thinking that if you are running, you can't do a complete 180.  Even after adding collisions with walls, I decided to keep it that way because it increased the difficulty level quite a bit :)"},{"author_name":"jerrre","author_uid":"13020","time":"Dec 19, 2012 @ 10:35am","epoch":1355913000,"text":"Needs Java 7"},{"author_name":"Tate","author_uid":"18460","time":"Dec 19, 2012 @ 6:53pm","epoch":1355942880,"text":"Ya jerrre, near then end when I was trying to implement sounds... I noticed that Java7 would have made life a whole lot easier.  I don't think I would have had enough time to learn what I needed to implement it though.  I was basically learning new parts of java the whole time as it was since this is my first game\/app outside of school.
