The Pong example you linked was written for an older version of Elm I have created a 0.17 version: https://gist.github.com/pdamoc/fd29925b8e20dd92e91c5b75e6c3711e
As you can see there, the keyboard ups and downs are translated into actions that update some player info structure with the direction selected. The Tick message handling uses these structures to compute the next frame of the game. You can think about this approach as creating a keypress related model and having the Tick message take a snapshot of that model and use it to drive the game logic. You can process the keypresses and update some kind of meaningful data. I've updated the direction for both players.
