You might want to read the Java tutorial, because it seems like you do not know how to use methods. "void block ( int* xc, int* yc, howbig, Color.*clr)" I have no idea why the *s are there, they will just give you syntax errors AFAIK, just exclude them. |

My friend just did something like this today. I suggested him the book "Head First Java". I used that book to start out java and it was a great help. Consider going to the library sometime... |

You are not far enough along for anyone to help you without actually doing the work for you. It looks like you are struggling with the whole concept of a class and the role of constructors and methods. Try reading this: http://www.javacoffeebreak.com/java102/java102.html Also, I'll second the recommendation for Head First Java. Great first Java book. |

If it's not required for a class, I HIGHLY recommend avoiding use of the "Console" class, which is unique to a specific IDE (and not in Java itself). Use Swing and/or AWT for graphical output. You could make what you're suggesting pretty easily that way, and there are plenty of tutorials on Sun's website. |

You mean Oracle's website, right? |
