Okay, I've been working on this off and on all afternoon. An applet will come up but not initialize. I get one error I can't find out how to fix. In the methods section the 'void' shows the error..."Syntax error on token "void", Identifier expected after this token."
You need to be able to successfully compile an applet before you can run it -- so I am not sure what you mean by "Applet will come up but not initialize", as you seem to be describing a compile problem.
Anyway, the compiler generally provides the file and line number location it thinks the problem is. You need to use the editor on the file, go to that line, and tell us where it is. We can't exactly tell from the post.
But if I had to take a guess on where the compile error is ...
This is not a valid syntax. First, you never named the method. Second, putting the semicolon between the parameter list and the open brace, is probably not what you intended. Third, if you meant the paint() method, then the method should not be static...
BTW, you still have other problems. But this is probably the main one that you are encountering...
