I am creating a Pong clone with a menu and the actual game itself. I am using a CardLayout to switch between the two JPanels.

However, when I switch from the menu to the board (or playing area), the board just sits there and won’t accept my keyboard inputs. How do I start it or start the key listening?

    requestFocusInWindow() should do the trick.
