Thread: Boucing ball from stanford uni

hi

This code was written using the API library. I am only in my second year and would like some help using jdk equivalents to pause, Goval to add and remove a shape and a random colour generator. here is the java file, it requires some tweaking. acm.jar has been attached in the zip so you can see what Ive done so far. However Acm is now disfunct.
