Scrolling Mario Platformer (Part 3)

Now that we have a Mario that will run back and forth, it's time to do some fine-tuning. Here we will make sure the player isn't trying to move if they are pressing both the Left AND Right keys:

import greenfoot.*;  // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, Greenfoot and MouseInfo)

And the Mover class:

import greenfoot.*;  // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, Greenfoot and MouseInfo)

/**

 * 
 * @author (your name) 
 * @version (a version number or a date)
 */
public class Mover extends Actor
{
    protected int speed;
    protected int animationCounter;
    
    /**
     * Move an object to the right
     */
    protected void moveRight()
    {
        setLocation (getX() + speed, getY());
    }
    /**
     * Move an object to the left
     */
    protected void moveLeft()
    {
        setLocation (getX() - speed, getY());
    }
}
