Constructor Index

o Decoder()

Method Index

o action(Event, Object)
Detects whether either button was pressed.
o init()
o paint(Graphics)
Due to the nature of the game, this paint function is rarely called except in the very beginning; most of the updating occurs in the canvases that make up individual components.
o update(Graphics)
Repaints without clearing.

Methods

o init 
 public void init()
Overrides:
init in class Applet
o paint 
 public void paint(Graphics g)
Due to the nature of the game, this paint function is rarely called except in the very beginning; most of the updating occurs in the canvases that make up individual components. Therefore this has no double buffering, and some of the code -- resizing the buttons, for example -- is inefficient for the sake of an elegant effect.

Overrides:
paint in class Container
o update 
 public void update(Graphics g)
Repaints without clearing.

Overrides:
update in class Component
o action 
 public boolean action(Event e,
                       Object o)
Detects whether either button was pressed.

Overrides:
action in class Component
