Repaint() not calling paint() in Java
- by Joshua Auriemma
Let me start off by saying I know I've violated some basic Java principles in this messy code, but I'm desperately trying to finish a program by Tuesday for a social science experiment, and I don't know Java, so I'm basically just fumbling through it for now.
With that disclaimer out of the way, I have a separate program working where a circle is moving around the screen and the user must click on it. It works fine when its in its own separate class file, but when I add the code to my main program, it's no longer working. I don't even really understand why repaint() calls my paint() function — as far as I'm concerned, it's magic, but I've noticed that repaint() calls paint() in my test program, but not in the more complicated actual program, and I assume that's why the circle is no longer painting on my program.
Entire code is below:

Could anyone tell me what I need to do to get repaint() to call the paint() method in the above program? I'm assuming the multiple frames is causing the problem, but that's just a guess. Thanks.
