Java can be applied to many uses. However, one of the most fun
applications of Java is to use it to create small animated applets. In
this series of articles I will show you how to create animated Java
apples. Some of them will be non-interactive, such as a background
animated display. Others will be fully interactive, such as a video
game. I will begin from the very beginning and explain the basics of
Java 2D animation, and end the series with complex applet-based video
games.
