well that's basically what's happening. you know, i think you're right about my key repeating thing. there's a delay between the first press and the first reaction. right now the system works just as you say, the view takes the keyboard input with the following code:

Code:
- (void)keyDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent
{
    NSString *keyChar = [theEvent charactersIgnoringModifiers];
    switch ([keyChar characterAtIndex:0])
    {
        case NSUpArrowFunctionKey:
            [PongControllerOutlet movePaddle:1];
            [self setNeedsDisplay:YES];
            return;
    case NSDownArrowFunctionKey:
            [PongControllerOutlet movePaddle:0];
            [self setNeedsDisplay:YES];
            return;
    }
}

and changes the paddle's state. oh wait. i just saw that. i don't need to redraw. d'oh! redundant post. ah well, i'll post it anyway to show how i can make silly mistakes! let me try that...
