What have you got so far? Do you know how to move an object without repeating it?

Well, here's a very basic way of doing it: 
public void moveRight()
{
    int x = (getX() + 5);
    int y = (getY());
    
    setLocation(x, y);
}
public void moveLeft()
{
    int x = (getX() - 5);
    int y = (getY());
    
    setLocation(x, y);
}
public void moveDown()
{
    int x = (getX());
    int y = (getY() + 5);
    
    setLocation(x, y);
}
public void moveUp()
{
    int x = (getX());
    int y = (getY() - 5);
    
    setLocation(x, y);
}
After you have put that code in, you could do something like: 
public void moveOnKeyPress()
{
    if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("left")) {
        moveLeft();
    }
    if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("right")) {
        moveRight();
    }
    if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("up")) {
        moveUp();
    }
    if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("down")) {
        moveDown();
    }
}
And then just place a call to the moveOnKeyPress() method in the act() method. There are better methods, but that's a nice simple one (if a bit lengthy)
