Assignment #2 - Java Applet

Write a Java applet that does something fun and interesting.

Here are some examples of programs you might write:

• Drawing - An applet that lets people draw shapes, lines, & add colors.
• Image Viewer - Displays an image either via a supplied URL or a pick-list. Make sure that people can resize, stretch, flip and manipulate the image in other interesting ways.
• Writing - Lets the user write text. Possibly let them save it as a file (i.e. make a stand-alone application) or send it as an email (you get to figure out how to do this).
• Graphing Calculator - Allows the user to enter equations which are graphed in a Cartesian plane.
• Finance - Lets people enter amounts in a ledger and calculates a balance. Alternatively, it might amortize a loan or mortgage based on initial amounts, interest, etc.
• Process - Allows people to build a flow chart which defines the steps in a process.
• Game - Some Space Invaders or Defender clone. I hope this will be a popular choice.

Here is what I expect to see in your applet:

• Classes, overrides, public/private methods/variables and possibly interfaces (it is not mandatory that you use interfaces).
• Use a layout manager of some kind
• Painting and graphics
• GUI controls - buttons, lists, and the like
• Event handling - Experiment with inner/anonymous classes
