Can you use arrow keys with a BufferedImage game panel?

Question

ex.) using .isKeyDown("Left") on a BufferedImage panel

Answer 1

BufferedImage is not a panel. It's merely an image.

The panel object is what would need to interact with keyboard/mouse etc.

(Note: ideally, it would be better to use raw Swing or JavaFX, instead of using the DrawingPanel from CSC 211 -- it was meant for educational purposes, not for building real software / games.)
