The Keyboard input is logged as integers (0,1, or 2... for forward, right, or
left) into an int[] array during construction, not to the file. The file is only
written when a save command is called, and the save command closes the output
stream. Everything continues to function after a save, it only locks up the
keyListener after the openFile() method.
The openFile() method plays back keystrokes by reading the integers one at a time
and sending them on to the construction method the same way the keyListener does.
The funny thing is that the openFile() method works great and plays back the log
correctly, it even completes without any exceptions.
The iterate() method simply takes a single int argument and processes it to create
geometry.
Still perplexed... : )
