I am a super noob with a super noob question.

Hey Guys,

So I'm actually a graphic designer ([url=http://linkremoved[/url] < my site) but I ran into some old java files I made back in the day. They are really stupid, and it's just a stupid game I made but I'd like to play it again for nostalgic purposes. It was back in high school when I made the program on a PC and now I'm using a mac. I'm just trying to run the damn thing in an applet but it won't launch and I believe it's because I'm not declaring a main method. Here is the code

Code:

I just need to know what code to add where so this will actually launch in an applet. Please excuse my idiocy, as I am not a developer/programer.

Thanks guys

Applets don't have main methods but rather are launched by a browser's applet launcher. You would do well to read the tutorials on this: Applet Tutorial

Are there any error messages in the browser's java console?

The link is irrelevant to the question, so it has been removed.

Also, please use a meaningful subject line.
