Hi, there!
Anyone mind lighten me up on the above subject?
I am currently developing a simple game in java.
So I was in the process of deciding whether to use an applet or application to present it.

Oops! I forgot, and if your choice is so, why is that?
I would really like to know the limitations of either one of those.
What can one do when the other cannot? Err...kind of lost here. :roll:

Applets are web based and applications run outside the browser on there own.

An application is stand-alone program. It runs in a window in the operating system it's being run on. The nifty thing about Java is that it's cross-platform; the same code will run on multiple operating systems.

Applets are those Java thingies that are embedded into webpages. You know how sometimes you'll go to a webpage and a Java applet has to load to do some nifty thing on the WWW? Those are applets.

OK...I think I've got something through... :?
Well, thanks so much, you guys.
I think I'll stick to application...as I am not creating a webpage...
Is my assumption correct? 8)
Fuh...Now's just the beginning of it... :shock:

Yup...Thanks!
Oh yeah...one more thing here, can 2 layouts be combined in a frame?
Err...btw, is frame the correct word...hehe....pardon me, I'm real new in this.
For eg. can I use BorderLayout together with GridLayout for example in the same window application?

Sorry, I can't help with this either on account of I've never used either of those two programs. (Only JBuilder for me!)

Sure! No problemo!
Err...I guess I'll give it a try...rather than waiting for someone to lighten me up on this.
Ciao! Thanks!
