Lesson 5 of 7

Drive with the keyboard

document.addEventListener('keydown', …) listens to the keyboard: the received event contains event.key ('ArrowRight', 'ArrowLeft'…).

An if on event.key plus your moveCar function does the rest — your car answers to the arrows!

document.addEventListener('keydown', function (event) {
  if (event.key === 'ArrowRight') {
    moveCar(10);
  }
});

🎯 Your goal

Listen to the keyboard: the right arrow (ArrowRight) calls moveCar(10), the left arrow (ArrowLeft) calls moveCar(-10).
