hi I'm a beginner at xcode and I'm making a simple pong game but the tutorial I'm watching was making it for iOS and I need it on MacOS, everything worked fine but then the input part I needed to make the arrow keys move the pong but I found nothing in the internet

please tell me how to make arrow keys move sprites left and right

Hey Gamer Fox!

You can use the keyDown and keyUp methods!

For example:

override func keyDown(with event: NSEvent) {
switch event.keyCode {
case 0: player.turn(.left) // A
case 2: player.turn(.right) // D
default:
print(event.keyCode)
}
}

override func keyUp(with event: NSEvent) {
switch event.keyCode {
case 0: player.turn(.left)
case 2: player.turn(.right)
default:
print(event.keyCode)
}
}
