Later in this school year, I'm going to be required to make a game in Java, and I got started by making this little demo.

Works great! Good job dude.

My only suggestion is to change the way you handle the character's movement. Right now you're moving the character in the event handler ( keyPressed() ) which results in the pause at first when you hold down a direction key.

Instead, consider animating the character in your main game loop. keyPressed() would set a new boolean like charMovingLeft to true on keyPress and to false on keyRelease. This will result in smooth movement with no pause.
