I have a JFrame that has two panels, the first panel(panel) has buttons and labels only, where the second panel has the game and keyboard input . The second panel(panelGame) does appear on screen, but with no keyboard response, my space ship cannot move nor I can shoot. Please download my project and help me thank you for your time and consideration.

You're better off posting your 'panelGame' class code here. How do we know that's not malicious code? Also, have you added a KeyListener to the panel? – blackcompe Dec 29 '13 at 06:30

You should consider using key bindings to the frame. – Paul Samsotha Dec 29 '13 at 06:32

`test8.java` Line 155 looks like the problem to me. – Elliott Frisch Dec 29 '13 at 06:33

From the description of the problem, the likely cause is you are using a KeyListener of some kind
The problem with this is, a KeyListener will only be notified of key events when the component it is registered to has key board focus AND is focusable.
A better solution would be to use Key Bindings which allow you to control at what focus level the bindings should be triggered.
