Need help getting Pong to work with Jcreator

[pineappelle]

I am making Pong with Java and using Jcreator to compile and run it but I can't get the paddles to function quite right. the code below is as far as i can get.

/**

 * pong Applet application

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class pong extends java.applet.Applet implements KeyListener, Runnable {

	Graphics screen, offscreen;
	Rectangle ball;
	Thread runner;
	int y, x, character_int, y2, x2, ballx, bally, xmove, ymove;
	Image workspace;

	public void init() {

		requestFocus();
		addKeyListener(this);
		y=5;
		x=5;
		x2=580;
		y2=5;
		workspace=createImage(600,400);
		offscreen=workspace.getGraphics();
		ball=new Rectangle();
		ball.x=150;
		ball.y=200;
		ball.width=20;
		ball.height=20;
		xmove=3;
		ymove=3;

	}

	public void keyPressed(KeyEvent event) {
		character_int=event.getKeyCode();

		if (character_int==40) {
			y=y+10;
			repaint();
		}
		else if(character_int==38) {
			y=y-10;
			repaint();
		}
		else if(character_int==39) {
			y2=y2+10;
			repaint();
		}
		else if(character_int==37) {
			y2=y2-10;
			repaint();
		}

	}

	public void keyReleased(KeyEvent event) {
	}

	public void keyTyped(KeyEvent event) {
	}

	public void paint(Graphics screen) {

		offscreen.setColor(Color.white);
		offscreen.fillRect(0,0,600,400);
		offscreen.setColor(Color.black);
		offscreen.fillOval(ball.x,ball.y,ball.width,ball.height);
		offscreen.fillRect(x,y,20,100);

		}
	}
