Converting a Java Applet to an Application

Question

I know this question has been answered elsewhere, but none of them seem to work. I don't know if the solution is different depending on the code, but that's what I'm guessing. Anyway, all I want to do is take this simple Applet (a Pong game) and change it to an Application. That's possible right? Thank you in advance! :)

Answer 1

LaserBallMain laserBallMain = new LaserBallMain();

JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 1));
frame.add(laserBallMain);

// Set frame size and other properties
...

// Call applet methods
laserBallMain.init();
laserBallMain.start();

frame.setVisible(true);
