You can't store methods in arrays in Java, because methods aren't first-class objects in Java. It's a reason some people prefer to use other languages like Python, Scheme, etc.

The work-around is to create an interface which contains one method, then create four classes implementing that interface - the MoveRight, MoveLeft, etc... classes. Then you can store instances of those classes in your array and call them all the same way.
