Help on How to Make Slot Machine Graphics Appear Spinning and then Stop Randomly

[unicorn-ellie]

Hi, I am a student who is very new to Java and I am coding a project--a slot machine.
As of now, I am having trouble making my slot graphics stop randomly. I am trying to use a timer that will execute the task, and then use a random int generator for the delay/time it will stop, however, this is not working for me.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Here is what I have tried so far (this is for one slot):

code:

import java.applet.*;   // allows access to MediaTracker import java.awt.*; import hsa.*; import java.util.Timer; import java.util.TimerTask; import java.util.Random; public class ApplePic {     static Timer timer;     static final int MAX_TIME = 1;     static final long PERIOD = 1;     static Console c;     static Image picture;                   // image class     static int picWidth, picHeight;                 // store width/height     private static final String PICTURE_PATH = "Fruits.jpg";     public static void loadImage ()         // This sets up the image     {         picture = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit ().getImage (PICTURE_PATH);       // Load the image.         // Now, it can actually take some time to load the image, and         // it could fail (image not found, etc).  The following checks for  all that.         MediaTracker tracker = new MediaTracker (new Frame ());         tracker.addImage (picture, 0);  // Add the picture to the list of images to be tracked         // Wait until all the images are loaded.  This can throw an         // InterruptedException although it's not likely, so we ignore  it if it occurs.         try         {             tracker.waitForAll ();         }         catch (InterruptedException e)         {         }         if (tracker.isErrorAny ())      // If there were any errors then abort theprogram         {             c.println ("Couldn't load " + PICTURE_PATH);             return;         }         picWidth = picture.getWidth (null);     // Initialize the picture size         picHeight = picture.getHeight (null);     } // init method     public ApplePic ()      // Create the console     {         c = new Console ();     }     public static void main (String[] args)     {         ApplePic a = new ApplePic ();           // Load the picture         loadImage ();                 Random rd = new Random ();         final long time = 1 + rd.nextInt (MAX_TIME);         final Timer timer = new Timer ();         timer.schedule (new TimerTask ()         {             public void run ()             {                 // // Initialize x, y, dx, dy                 int x, y;                                        int dx, dy;                 x = 200;                 y = -100;                 dx = 3;                 dy = 3;                 do                 {                     for (y = -500 ; y < 500 ; y++)                     {                         try                         {                             Thread.sleep (5);                         }                         catch (InterruptedException e)                         {                         }                                     x = x;                         y++;                         dy = +dy;                         dx = -dx;                                             c.clearRect (x, y, picWidth, picHeight);                         x += dx;                         y += dy;                         c.drawImage (picture, x, y, null);                                             }                 }                 while (y - dy > 0);             }             timer.cancel ();         }         , 0, PERIOD);     } // main method }
