I have had this problem every time I've tried to get the BaseGame to work from the tutorial:
KeyBindingManager.getKeyBindingManager().set("exit", KeyInput.KEY_ESCAPE);
does not seem to work. What am I missing? It locks up the computer and I am forced to cycle the power.
Hold it, I got it. You might want to consider moving the update method description up to above where you say you can now run the application. It works once you add that code. Sorry for bothering everyone.
