Start: Applet not initialized

[Albert Dong]

I am writing an applet that randomly selects 10 cards and then displays them. I can compile my code fine but when I run it, the applet viewer says Start: Applet not initialized. I am unsure what is wrong with my code, can anyone help?


import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Image;
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.lang.Math;
import java.util.Random;

public class unit12Assignment extends Applet
{
Image card1, card2, card3, card4, card5, card6, card7, card8, card9, card10, card11, card12, card13;
Image card14, card15, card16, card17, card18, card19, card20, card21, card22, card23, card24, card25, card26;
Image card27, card28, card29, card30, card31, card32, card33, card34, card35, card36, card37, card38, card39;
Image card40, card41, card42, card43, card44, card45, card46, card47, card48, card49, card50, card51, card52;

There are probably error messages in the Java Console; post those here.

No idea what you mean. It compiled fine.

[Michael Dunn]

Graphics g = null;
...
paint( g, ranNum, card );

does something look strange here?

That response makes it sound like you are entirely unfamiliar with the possibility that you might have errors at run-time. That being the case, you should stick to writing ordinary applications until you get a bit more experience with the language. Applets are not a technology for beginners.

I had no idea what to set it too so I out null there as a temp.

It's homework.
