| Description: | Program shows use of Timers by tricking the user. | |
| Components: | ActionEvents, ItemListener, JLabels, ImageIcons, Timers. | |
| New Concepts: | Using Timers for delays and image manipulations. | |
| Reflections: | This program was from the original Joker.java, which was never published because of the internet applet incompatiblities that the Symantec classes have. So I set out using all Swing and reworked the entire applet and instead of using threads, I used Timers. Which allow me to do neat things, such as make the applet appear as though it is hard at work when acutally its just wasting time. | |
