My First Serious Effort at Applet Programming
This is something I just started learning recently thank to the free tutorial at www.java.sun.com (see link carousel). If there is anything you have noticed about the applets on show or know things you think I might like to email me!
The first applet, shown below, is an effort at a basic game. The idea being to click on the ball as it bounces.
The game uses mouseListener to find where you click and the sees if that matches the balls's location. I'm having a bit of trouble getting the two to line up and the reason for this still evades me! If you have the knowledge could you suggest reasons why. Similarly it runs intermittently with Netscape in the full window but performs better on its own
(usually) click here to get it on its own. It also keeps score and plays a sound and changes the ball behaviour when you hit the target! Enjoy it, but I'm afraid it lacks depth!!
As you probably saw on the first page (and over here on the left), I've also got an applet that revolves through some of my favorite links. There will be even more of applets coming soon ...
as soon as I write them !
