I have an applet that, as written now, should be drawing and bouncing a ball around the top (drawingpanel
in the code) after the "Run" button is pressed. Looking at other examples online and using code from a different program that did not use Canvas I am not able to figure out why my Ball object is not showing up. I have tested the flow of the program, and all the methods are being called as they should be, so it isn't the case where the code doesn't make it to the paint
method. Any good resources on using Canvas/Thread would be great, or any advice on the following applet would be much appriciated. Thank you!
