I am very new to Java but I have been working on a scrolling background game, like Geometry Dash. It is very bare bones with just some clouds to indicate that the background is moving, but I am now confronted with the problem of making it so my player can jump up then fall back down by pressing the arrow up key, like a jumping motion. I hope there is a simple solution to my problem, so that someone can help me and I understand it. I have made it so the player can jump up, but I have not been able to make it go back down after it jumps. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
here is the code:
