Hi Sam, Your question probably does not belong on the java-linux list, as far as I can tell. It is just a java coding problem, right? I looked at it -- but you have a method call gcd() on line 44 -- this doesn't belong to anything. It is outside of the scope of init(), and outside the scope of the applet. Who is calling it? And the method definition does not belong to anything either. It's a good rule of thumb that, when submitting source code for review, the code should at least compile ;) Also, it's nice to place components on a panel or something, and set some sizes, so that you have control of the appearance.
