Ok, I have one final assignment left to do in my Advanced Java class this semester. She wants us to create an application that contains graphics and buttons. She said we could pick a business application, or a game, or a web application. So I chose a to attempt to make a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. I have the basics down, I'm just having a few issues. I will post the code that I have come up with. The things I need help with I included as comments in the code.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;

public class LauraExamPartOne {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
	   
		String input;					   
		int playerChoice;						
		int compChoice;  
		 
							 
		System.out.println("Laura's CIS 256 Final Exam");
	   
		 //need to implement a background or image for this part
		input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("This is my CIS 256 Final Exam. Lets play Rock, Paper, Scissors.\n" +
				"Type 1 for Rock, 2 for Paper, and 3 for Scissors, then press OK.\n" + "If you do not wish to play, please press Cancel now.");
		playerChoice = Integer.parseInt(input);
		  
		  
		  
	   
	   
		Random someNum = new Random ();
	   
		autoChoice = someNum.nextInt(3);
	   
	   
	   							 
		  if (playerChoice == 1 && autoChoice == 0)
				JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "It's a Tie! Would you like to play again?");
					  //needs a "Play Again?" button that starts the game over if pressed
					  //needs an "End Game." button that starts the game over if pressed
					
							 
	 
		else if (playerChoice == 1 && autoChoice == 1)
				JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Paper covers Rock. You lose! Would you like to play again?");
					  //needs a "Play Again?" button that starts the game over if pressed
					  //needs an "End Game." button that starts the game over if pressed
	   
		else if (playerChoice == 1 && autoChoice == 2)
				JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Rock breaks Scissors. You win! Would you like to play again?");
					  //needs a "Play Again?" button that starts the game over if pressed
					  //needs an "End Game." button that starts the game over if pressed
		
		else if (playerChoice == 2 && autoChoice == 0)
				JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Paper covers Rock. You win! Would you like to play again?");
					  //needs a "Play Again?" button that starts the game over if pressed
					  //needs an "End Game." button that starts the game over if pressed
	   
		else if (playerChoice == 2 && autoChoice == 1)
				JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "It's a Tie! Would you like to play again?");
					  //needs a "Play Again?" button that starts the game over if pressed
					  //needs an "End Game." button that starts the game over if pressed
	   
		else if (playerChoice == 2 && autoChoice == 2)
				JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Scissors cut Paper. You lose! Would you like to play again?");
					  //needs a "Play Again?" button that starts the game over if pressed
					  //needs an "End Game." button that starts the game over if pressed
	   
		else if (playerChoice == 3 && autoChoice == 0)
				JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Rock breaks Scissors. You lose! Would you like to play again?");
					  //needs a "Play Again?" button that starts the game over if pressed
					  //needs an "End Game." button that starts the game over if pressed
	   
		else if (playerChoice == 3 && autoChoice == 1)
				JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Scissors cut Paper. You win! Would you like to play again?");
					  //needs a "Play Again?" button that starts the game over if pressed
					  //needs an "End Game." button that starts the game over if pressed
	   
		else if (playerChoice == 3 && autoChoice == 2)
				JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "It's a Tie! Would you like to play again?");
					  //needs a "Play Again?" button that starts the game over if pressed
					  //needs an "End Game." button that starts the game over if pressed
					 
					 else if (playerChoice > 3 || autoChoice > 3)
				JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "HEY! That's not a valid choice, please try again.");
					  //needs a "Play Again?" button that starts the game over if pressed
					  //needs an "End Game." button that starts the game over if pressed
					 
	   
	   
	}

You are far from having an Applet or a GUI aapplication
JOptionPane are short cuts for console applications to look like GUI
"Advanced Java semester"... that is scary

Applets or GUI applications do not use JOptionPane but JButtons and JTextField to input data

Work Hard ya!!!

I apologize, I had applet on the brain (studying for another exam). I meant to type application.

so you need a class that exends JFrame which has a main() method that create that class object
and you still don't need JOptionPane something like

import javax.swing.*;
public class PrimeGui extends JFrame  {

	PrimeGui() {
		super("Prime Numbers calculator");
		setSize(500, 300);
		setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
		
	}

	// to start the whole thing
	public static void main(String[] args) {		
		 SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
				public void run() {
					new PrimeGui().setVisible(true);
				}
			});
	}
	}
}
