Why is my java applet program not ending?

Clearly, from what little evidence you've shown, the variable 'y_pos' is not > 150 and thats why your program doesn't end..

Nothing is clear to me. It's conceivable that the method or block that contains that bit of code is never reached. I second the recommendation that the original poster fill in the necessary details to allow us to understand the problem if he still needs our help.

From what I can tell you are approaching this in the wrong way.

The if statement is probably being checked before y_pos exceeds 150, and if it is not executed in repetition then the condition will never be fulfilled.

I'm not sure if an ActionListener is exactly what you need here, but it should probably point you in the right direction; look for something that will activate when y_pos exceeds 150 rather than checking the y_pos value at a random time.
