This tutorial will move the shooter with the arrow keys. KeyDown will be used. KeyDown is a little different than KeyPress. Also, KeyUp will be used. Some hit detection will be used to check to see if the shooter has hit the edge of the form. The hit detection will prevent the shooter from leaving the form.
