Every one of your if-statements is wrong. The syntax is supposed to be:

if ( <condition> ) {
   <code>
}

Yours is:

if ( <condition> ); { // Get rid of that semi-colon
   <code>
}

Also, lines 39, 42, 55, and 58 need some serious rewriting, and please, indent your code correctly.

if else(keyStroke) = 65 || 97 || 69 || 101 || 73 || 105 || 79 || 111 || 85 || 117

You can't do that, you would have to do:

else if ( keyStroke == 65 || keyStroke == 97 /* ect */ ) {
   <code>
}

In fact, just start over and read this. [link]

Thanks for the help, ill try to figure out my work from yall's help

OKay here is the edit, where i pretty much think i fixed it up to the way you showed me, i hope i can get some responce cause im still getting an error.. thank you
