Program won't run need help with code

[Upcoming]

Hey I'm trying to get this program to run. I'm trying to make a game and this class is supposed to be the class that loads the character for the user to control and for some reason it wont open into any applet. i don't have any errors registering but it just wont open. if someone could take a look at tell me where I'm going wrong i would very much appreciate it. I'm using Eclipse to program cause i hope to eventually incorporate this into an android app but i want to get it to run in java first. Thank you

I just had a quick look at your program and see there is no entry point in your program. So how will you code run? Typically when you have a program you need to define the entry point where it execution starts. In Java it will look like this:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    ...
    ...
    ...
}

I just had a quick look at your program and see there is no entry point in your program.

The OP mentioned something about an Applet. But a quick glance shows a class that doesn't directly or indirectly extend JComponent, with a paintComponent(Graphics) method that loads an image each time it's called (if it's ever called), that claims to implement ImageObserver but doesn't. IOW, uncompilable code.

When i put the main class in a get a crap load of other errors on my constructor method saying duplicate classes so i commented out the constructor method to see if it would run and it still doesn't run. do u have to have the constructor method even though im declaring the methods in the program? im really lost right now.. i've been really frustrated with this for a while now...

If you're trying to run the code as an applet, shouldn't you have a class extend either Applet or JApplet?

Also, if you truly need our help, you're going to have to put in a lot more effort into your question, because right now you're not telling us anything useful that will enable us to help you, important details such as exactly what you're trying to do, including your assignment instructions, what errors you're seeing, etc... If you've fixed your problem, then ignore this post, but if not, please look at the link at the end of this post titled "how to ask smart questions" as this will tell you just what stuff we need if we're going to have a chance of helping you.

Sorry im new to the forums. The assingment was to make a game in java. pretty basic assingment but i have just been having trouble trying to get everything to work on it. I added the extends JApplet to my fighter class so it now looks like this....public abstract class Fighter implements ImageObserver extends JApplet.... It is giving me a syntax error on the "extends" call and i can not figure out why. do i need to make a sub class inside of the fighter class and then call the "extends JApplet"?
