Instructions

Complete the following requirements. Any written answers should be put into a text file. Place all of your files into a folder. Label the folder with your last name and drop it into the CS190/HMWK/Lab2 folder.

Requirements

Write an applet or application that uses three threads. The threads should have the following functionality.

  1. There must be a thread that displays the current time in a box. You should use some component (e.g., textField) to display the time.

  2. There must be a thread that displays a small animation. You can use the pictures from any source for your animation, but you should have at least three pictures in the animation. You should get the picture names, the number of pictures, and the path to the pictures from applet (or application) arguments. See the Java in a Nutshell textbook, example 4-8 on page 99 for an example of how to do simple animation. You do not have to use advanced animation techniques (like using the mediaTracker or double buffering).

  3. There should be a thread that displays moving text in a box. The text should move across the screen in the box, like a movie marquee. You should get the exact text that is to be displayed from either an applet parameter or from a file.
