Java Applets

» Online Tutorial: Java by Example

If the applets don't run on your PC, you might have to download and install a Java Virtual Machine for your browser - you get it at the SUN Java website website. If you want to learn Java and start writing your own applets, have a look at my free Java 1.0 online tutorial!

Simple Animation A simple animation to show the basic functions you need for graphical applets. The color of the big text is cycled through all the colors of the spectrum. » Run Applet » Sourcecode

Falling Characters 100 random letters are dropping from above - a fascinating sight! » Run Applet » Sourcecode

Bouncing Balls The balls bounce about the window and bounce off the rectangle in the middle and each other. The 10 balls have different speed and direction. You can drag the obstacle around and resize it by gripping it's edges or corners. The cursor changes it's shape correctly! » Run Applet » Sourcecode

Fancy Clock This clock shows not only the time, but also date and day of the week. » Run Applet » Sourcecode

A simple, but nicely done digital clock with LED digits and blinking dots. » Run Applet » Sourcecode

Extreme Tennis Try to keep the ball inside the playing field with the paddle. Move the paddle with the mouse. Click mouse to enter a new ball. The speed goes up constantly! The ball is reflected with different angles from the paddle, depending on the area it is hit with. With sound effects. » Run Applet » Sourcecode

Timer This timer applet can count up or down (100 hours max.), can be paused and can play an alarm sound on zero. Change the Identifier of the timer by clicking inside the white box, then type your text and hit "Return", or click anywhere inside the applet. When a countdown has run off, a sound is played for about 10 seconds, unless you klick anywhere inside the applet to stop it. The sound file is looped. It must be named "alarm.au" and must be inside the applet directory. The Colors for the Timer and for the Background (should be the same as the html-page background) can be specified via HTML page parameters. When you count down, you can tell by graphical gauges how much time is left. On count up, animations are visualizing the running timer. » Run Applet » Sourcecode

Interest Calculator At last a 'serious' applet :-)! (one of the few I ever made). You can enter a start capital and calculate the resulting capital with interest for 15 years. I wrote the algorythm for the rounding and formatting of the numbers myself (see rounding class in file 'Runde.java'). » Run Applet » Sourcecode

Slideshow Just a simple slideshow applet with preloaded images (all the images are loaded before the applet starts). You can either choose the slides by number, by forward / backward buttons or by switching to 'automatic', which starts a new picture every second. » Run Applet » Sourcecode

Dart Game You will like this game. Place the darts in the center if you can (your hand is shaking). And watch the time limit (the red gauge tells you how much time's left to aim)! You can reach a maximum score of 60. » Run Applet » Sourcecode

Animated Button Animated buttons to access a html page or to send an e-mail. » Run Applet » Sourcecode

Rainbow Button The rainbow button can be set to horizontal or vertical scrolling via parameters. » Run Applet » Sourcecode

JAVA-RGB-Mixer Mix your colors with the Red, Green and Blue slider and paste the hexadecimal value into your application. The URL on the applet is a hotlink! » Run Applet » Sourcecode

Magic Drawingboard A little drawing program for several graphic primitives and text in different colors. Notice the display of coordinates and a beautiful animated intro screen. » Run Applet » Sourcecode
