Java Draw not moving snake

I am trying to create a snake clone just as a practice. ive drawn the snake and added the movement patterns but the snake eats on it self when I press any key to move. but its not moving. the array retracts the reactacles on the starting point and does nothing.
here is my snake class I have removed my comments as they where more than the code and the posting system was not allowing me to post
Edit
If you need anything from the other classes please let me know. but I think my error is somewhere in here
EDIT 2
Added the entire code, you can just copy paste in inside a new project and you will reproduce my error.
public class Snake {
List<Point> sPoints;
int xDir,yDir;
boolean isMoving,addTail;
final int sSize = 20, startX = 150 , startY = 150;
public Snake(){
sPoints = new ArrayList<Point>();
xDir = 0;
yDir = 0;
isMoving = false;
addTail = false;
sPoints.add(new Point(startX,startY));
for(int i=1; i<sSize; i++) {
sPoints.add(new Point(startX - i * 4,startY));
}
}
public void draw(Graphics g){
g.setColor(Color.white);
for(Point p : sPoints) {
g.fillRect(p.getX(),p.getY(),4,4);
}
}
public void move(){
if (isMoving) {
Point temp = sPoints.get(0);
Point last = sPoints.get(sPoints.size() - 1);
Point newstart = new Point(temp.getX() + xDir * 4, temp.getY() + yDir * 4);
for (int i = sPoints.size() - 1; i >= 1; i--) {
sPoints.set(i, sPoints.get(i - 1));
}
sPoints.set(0, newstart);
}
}
public int getxDir() {
return xDir;
}
public void setxDir(int x) {
this.xDir = xDir;
}
public int getyDir() {
return yDir;
}
public void setyDir(int y) {
this.yDir = yDir;
}
public int getX(){
return sPoints.get(0).getX();
}
public int getY(){
return sPoints.get(0).getY();
}
public boolean isMoving() {
return isMoving;
}
public void setIsMoving(boolean b) {
isMoving = b;
}
}
The following is the point class. just some getters setters for the points ,for those i used the IntelliJ to auto generate them.. (again i removed comments )
public class Point {
private int x,y;
public Point() {
x = 0;
y = 0;
}
public Point(int x, int y) {
this.x =x;
this.y =y;
}
public void setX(int x) {
this.x = x;
}
public void setY(int y) {
this.y = y;
}
public int getX() {
return x;
}
public int getY() {
return y;
}
}
and finally my main class called game.
in here what I do is create my applet give it background color. create my threat for the runnable. and also add the movement patterns for up/right/down/left...
and use several classes to update my drawing patterns so it can simulate movement by updating each of state of my rect list.

Here is some opinion I have reading your code.
The reason your snake won't move is because your snake.setyDir() and
snake.setxDir() didn't take the input to overwrite xDir and yDir. They are assigning to itself.
There is a Point2D class ready for you in JDK
When moving the snake, you just need to remove the tail and add one
more block before the head. You can keep the body tight (according
to my common knowledge to snake).
Consider a L shape snake on the left, the bottom end is the head and it is currently heading right. To move the snake, remove the tail (green block) and add one more to the head according to its direction (red block). It final state become the snake on the right. LinkedList suit the needs.
If using two int (xDir and yDir) to control the snake direction
is confusing, you can help your self by creating a enum. Those -1,
0, 1 with x and y may confuse you.
Declare constant instead of magic number. e.g. the width of block 4,
image size 400
Is Snake.addTail unnecessary?
Attribute should has accessibility modifier

Rectangle is not moving if i set the x y from another class.

Alright, so I got two classes here, the main and the keylistener class which i use to pass keyboard inputs to the main class.

public static void main(String[] args) {

}

while (running) {

if (delta >= 1) {

}
render();

if (System.currentTimeMillis() - timer > 1000) {

}
}
stop();
}
public void tick() {
}
public void render() {

return;
}

return;
running = false;
try {
thread.join();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.exit(1);
}
}
and then i've got the keylistener class which looks like this
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
public class KeyHandle implements KeyListener {
Game game;
#Override
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_UP){
} else if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_DOWN){
game.head.y += 10;
} else if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT){
} else if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT){
} else if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE){
}
}
#Override
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_UP){
} else if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_DOWN){
} else if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT){
} else if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT){
} else if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE){
}
}
#Override
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
Now the problem appears when I try to edit the "head" y and x values as seen in the second class.
if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_DOWN){
game.head.y += 10;
What am I doing wrong here and is there a better way to pass and set x and y values more efficiently.

Your KeyHandle class contains a reference to a Game but no intantiation of game. Instead of creating new Game() in your main method and dropping the instance on the floor, allocate that instance to the reference contained in KeyHandle.
keyhandle.game = new Game();

Sprite not moving properly Java

I am trying to make a Space Shooter using java, but it isn't working. I am currently working on spawning the enemies. To hold the positions of all the enemies, I used an ArrayList called allEnemies. The ArrayList is filled with Point objects. I am updating the Game by calling updateEnemies() in my game loop.
Originally, I had the enemy's y position increment by 1, but that was too fast, so I changed it to 0.2 in an attempt to slow it down. Once I made it 0.2, the sprites spawned at the top but didn't move down. I works for any value above 1, including decimals, but not anything below. Here is my code:
Enemy.java
package main;
import java.awt.Point;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Enemy {
static ArrayList<Point> allEnemies = new ArrayList<Point>();
public static ArrayList<Point> createEnemies(int round) {
for (int i = 0; i < round; i++) {
Point newEnemyLocation = new Point((int) (Math.random()*Game.WIDTH - 64), 0);
allEnemies.add(newEnemyLocation);
}
return allEnemies;
}
public static ArrayList<Point> updateEnemies() {
if (allEnemies.size() != 0) {
for (int i = 0; i < allEnemies.size(); i++) {
Point enemyLocation = allEnemies.get(i);
if (enemyLocation.y <= Game.HEIGHT) {
allEnemies.get(i).y += 0.2;
} else {
allEnemies.remove(i);
}
}
}
return allEnemies;
}
}

Hello it is because the point class holds 2 integers x and y and you are trying to add 0.2 to a integer that only can store values without decimals so you have 2 options 1 is to change the point to a Point2D (holds doubles and a double can hold numbers with decimals) or you could create a enemy class with a x and y float/double but in this case I would go for option 1 because this is a small game, good luck!
Edit:
I was wrong about point2d, just saw that it is a abstract class so do like this
public class Enemy{
public double x,y;
Public Enemy(double x, double y){
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
}
And use that as the object in your arraylist

I have two players in this game but i'm really stuck on how i can change the sprites direction by 22.5% in a desired direction so if i pressed the up key for player 1 it would rotate my car 22.5% north etc. I have a sprite sheet with 16 sprites for each player for every change in angle by 22.5% This is really confusing me and i'm not sure how i can implement this,
Thanks for taking the time to look

This is a basic example of spinning a sprite
What this is maintain's a virtual state which the Player object inspects in order to determine how it should be changed accordingly. This separates the action from the result, meaning that it would be possible to substitute the action (arrow up key) with some other action, but still obtain the same result.
This example also uses the key bindings API, which doesn't suffer from the same focus related issues that KeyListener does, but this is a pure Swing API and won't be compatiable with Canvas, but is a nice demonstration ;)
The real magic occurs in the characters paint method...
public void paint(Graphics2D g2d) {
Graphics2D g = (Graphics2D) g2d.create();
AffineTransform at = new AffineTransform();
at.translate(x, y);
at.rotate(Math.toRadians(angle), character.getWidth() / 2, character.getHeight() / 2);
g.transform(at);
g.drawImage(character, 0, 0, null);
}
Basically, this creates a AffineTransformation which is then compounded to produce the result we need. That is, first it's anchor position is translated to the characters x/y position and then rotated about the characters center point. Because it's been translated, we can simply paint the character at 0x0. This much easier then try to calculate the characters rotation anchor somewhere else in virtual space - IMHO
The character is rotated by pressing either the Up or Down arrow keys. While pressed, the character will continue to rotate, this is a feature of the example for demonstration purpose.

How to create a pause menu for a simple side-scroller game in Java

I'm trying to create a simple sideScroller in java, so far my game runs as expected but i have no idea on how to create a pause menu to go to the main menu and stuff (haven't got any idea on how to create a main manu for that mater) what do you think it's the best idea? this is the relevant code of my game, this panel is called inside a frame:

As you can see I already have a pause variable which pauses everything, but I would like to have a little window popup in the middle while pause its true

The problem is that your class Background is directly where you draw.
Normally your game handles all the frames and stuff, but then you have some kind of GameState object which your main game calls, like this:
public void update() {
if (pause) {
gameState = pauseState;
} else {
gameState = playState;
}
gameState.update();
}
#Override
public void paint(Graphics g) {
super.paint(g);
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
gameState.paint(g2d)
}
The idea is that you can have as many gameStates as you want. Simply make an interface GameState that provides methods for Update, Paint, Initialize and Dispose (or something like this).
Then you can have all kinds of GameStates, for example Play, Pause, MainMenu, SaveGameMenu, etc., each one in charge of updating and drawing itself.
It's the main class (where your game loop is) where you handle the logic to swap the GameStates.
