I'm creating a game, the div with id "playerDiv" when I hit the space bar it should start going up but it doesn't. So I would like when I hit the space bar the div would go up high. could you help me? could you also report me the mistakes i made?
const player = document.getElementById("playerDiv");
let inc = 0;
let playerTimeOut;
function jump() {
let x = 420 + inc;
player.top = player.top + x;
inc++
playerTimeOut = setTimeout(jump, 50);
}
window.addEventListener("keydown", checkKeyPress, false);
function checkKeyPress(key) {
if (key.key === ' ') {
jump();
}
}
body {
background-color: #222222;
}
#background {
border: solid 2px #dddddd;
width: 800px;
height: 500px;
}
#playerDiv {
background-color: #aaaaaa;
width: 60px;
height: 80px;
position: relative;
top: 420px;
left: 10px;
}
