Help with Pause

[trill]

Hi, I am making an 8-Ball applet and I want to make the 8-Ball pause before it is redrawn in a different location.

How do you make a program pause for a set amount of time before completing the next action in the code?
Thanks.

You need to look into threading, and in particular the Thread.sleep() method. This is a standard java class.

if you want a certain button could start a loop which never ends, and another button could break the loop

if (//button sequence)
while (true)
{
if (//button sequence)
break;
}
