I have to do a multiplayer game for the rocket game for school. It is not over the internet; it is on the keyboard for someone near you to play with. I cannot add another actor. I have already created a second rocket for the second player to play as, but how do i make it independent?

I just made 2 almost identical classes-one for each player. if you really want to use only one i guess you can make your actor take an input and you change the controls based on it.

i made something like this and i had one actor controlled by the arrow keys and the second controlled by the asdw keys. something similar would easily enable multi-player off the same keyboard.

For rockets, you may want to use w and up for acceleration and a/d and left/right for turning. Only one class is really needed. Just use a boolean parameter to identify which one to create:

// with fields
String left, right, thrust;
 
// instead of
public Rocket() { ...
 
// use
public Rocket(boolean p2)
{
    if (p2)
    {
        left = "left";
        right = "right";
        thrust = "up";
    }
    else
    {
        left = "a";
        right = "d";
        thrust = "w";
    }
    ...
}
When creating a Rocket object (in World subclass):

Rocket player1 = new Rocket(false);
Rocket player2 = new Rocket(true);
In action code, you would use code similar to the following for checking key presses (back in Rocket class):
?
1
if (Greenfoot.isKeyDown(thrust))
