Posted September 26, 200519 yr I am taking a Java course in college right now, and we are going to be getting into applets soon. Does anyone have any experience with them, or does anyone have any advice for me when dealing with them? I am trying to get some practice before we start it in class, so any tips would be appreciated.

You'll need to be familiar with "Double Buffering" to draw graphics (this technique will remove the flicker you get from drawing to one image and clearing it each frame). I would post some code for it, but I recently had to format my windows drive due to a "crash", anyway here's a link: http://developers.sun.com/techtopics/mobility/midp/ttips/flkrfree/index.html Also, it might be a good idea to read any tutorials on the AWT package as it will be useful for GUI, although it's much more fun to create your own. :P Just read up on event handling, mousemotionlistener, keyboardlistener (I think those are the keywords, can't really remember). http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/awt/index.html
