Can someone help me fix this please?

For some reason when I run this code nothing at all happens. All I want it to do is have the rectangle move across the screen. Here's my code:

package game;

import javax.swing.*;

public class Game {
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		new Game();
	}
	
	public Game() {
		JFrame f = new JFrame("My Graphics");
		Panel p = new Panel();
		
		f.setSize(800, 600);
		f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
		f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		f.add(p);
		f.setVisible(true);
	}

}

package game;

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Panel extends JPanel {

	private int txtx, txty;
	private int rectx, recty;
	private int ovalx, ovaly;
	private boolean running;

	public Panel() {
		txtx = 50;
		txty = 50;

		rectx = 50;
		recty = 80;

		ovalx = 50;
		ovaly = 210;
		
		running = true;

		setBackground(Color.WHITE);
		setForeground(Color.BLACK);
		setFont(new Font("Ariel", Font.PLAIN, 20));
		
		gameloop();
	}

	public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
		super.paintComponent(g);
		Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;

		g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
				RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);

		g2.drawString("diz iz mah texz", txtx, txty);
		g2.setColor(Color.RED);
		g2.fillRect(rectx, recty, 100, 100);
		g2.setColor(Color.BLUE);
		g2.fillOval(ovalx, ovaly, 100, 100);
	}

	public void gameloop() {
		while (running) {
			rectx++;
			repaint();

			try {
				Thread.sleep(20);
			} catch (Exception e) {

			}
		}
	}

}

Lesson: Concurrency in Swing (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing)

Don't run a continuously running loop or Thread#sleep(...) on the EDT. Use a Swing Timer.

this code nothing at all happens

When the execution in Panel's constructor calls the never ending loop in gameloop, it never returns.
It needs to return to allow the JVM to complete the building of your GUI.
