POJava JApplet to JFrame
text
Body
copied!<p>I want to convert a JApplet to a JFrame. I have found this code on the internet that is a word search game. I want to use this code in a demonstration for a class. but I don't want it in an applet. The code that I was going to paste in here was to large by about 7,000 characters. I tried taking the JApplet and extending a JFrame and then putting all of the code for the initialization into a constructor (Zero Argument constructor). This cause about ten errors that I couldn't get fixed. I want to make a word search game and I had found a great example but I cannot get it to run in my Eclipse.</p> <pre><code>class WordSearch extends JApplet implements Runnable, KeyListener, MouseListener, MouseMotionListener { // Copyright information.
