Java timer&paintcomponent issues?

Your co-ordiantes for the frames/panels size is off, you should calculate this dynamically maybe, or have a final value. Next your xy=0 and xy=1 should be swapped like this.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
