You need a Java-enabled browser to see this banner.

This is my first attempt at a Web Page where I began testing out Java Applets.

I started with some sample programs and I added a few things myself. I wrote the code to make the scrolling ticker tape above cycle through the colors of the rainbow.

My second Java page displays an image scaled to several different sizes using Java.

The next Java page contains an animation where a rainbow of colors swirls across a text banner. The Meadow Java page allows the user to position small images on a background scene using the mouse.
The Parkland Java page allows the user to drag small images onto a background scene using the mouse.

A 3D animated logo demonstrates double buffering and Threads.

For non-Java programmers, here is a page containing Java Applets which can be customized for use on your own Web Pages. You will find an explanation on how to include these Applets in your Web Pages, and you can also link to the sites where they were created for more information.

The page showing TicTacToe, and some animations has been included to demonstrate various ways of using Java. You can also find a banner of scrolling images, a rippling lake reflection of an image, and a display of fireworks. These Applets have been gathered from various outside sources which you can look up for more information.

This page demonstrates hot spots . Sounds are attached to the hot spots using regular HTML. This page is still under construction. Several of the sounds do work and you'll get some good hints here about putting sound on your own Web Pages. This page doesn't yet use Java, but when it is converted to Java, the sounds will be downloaded in the background before they are needed, thus improving performance.

Note: These Web Pages were tested using Netscape Navigator on a Pentium 166 MMX. To view these pages properly, you must be running a Java-enabled Browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. Occasionally, even then, problems may still be encountered. Java is a language designed so that it can be used on many different makes of computers, but at times it has performance problems, and some features of the language have not yet been fully implemented on all of the Java-enabled Browsers.
