Intializing Applet

Hey all, wanted to get back into making games (as some of you may know) and i'm just going to start with a basic brickout style game. But i cant seem to get anything to start. How do I go about initializing my applet?

Here's my code. The only part I wanna see right now is refresh();. The other stuff is there for later on.

Java:

import java.awt.*;

public class Tetris
{
Thread fThread;
Image offScreenImage;
Graphics offScreenGraphics;

int xPlayer = 100;
int yPlayer = 20;
int gameSpeed = 4;

int bxSize = 30; // Block - x size.
int bySize = 30; // Block - y size.

int maxx = 360;
int maxy = 360;

boolean keyUp = false;
boolean keyDown = false;
boolean keyLeft = false;
boolean keyRight = false;

//    2-D map
byte fMap[];
static final byte W = 1; // wall
static final byte O = 0; // opening
static final int mapWidth = 12;
static final int mapHeight = 12;

public void map ()
{
//    Making a map - 2D
byte[] map=
{
O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,
O,O,O,O,O,W,W,O,O,O,O,O,
O,O,O,O,W,W,W,W,O,O,O,O,
O,O,O,W,W,W,W,W,W,O,O,O,
O,O,W,W,W,W,W,W,W,W,O,O,
O,W,W,W,W,W,W,W,W,W,W,O,
O,O,O,O,W,W,W,W,O,O,O,O,
O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,
O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,
O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,
O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,
O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,
};
fMap=map;
}
public void refresh ()
{
for (int i = 0 ; i < maxx / 2 ; ++i)
{
offScreenGraphics.setColor(new Color (i / (maxx / 2), i / (maxx / 2), i / (maxx / 2)));
offScreenGraphics.fillRect(i, i, maxx - i, maxy - i);
}

}

public void move ()
{
while (true)
{
if (keyLeft && xPlayer - gameSpeed > 0)
{
xPlayer -= gameSpeed;
}
else if (keyRight && xPlayer + gameSpeed < maxx)
{
xPlayer += gameSpeed;
}
}
}

public void main (String []args)
{
refresh ();

}

}
