help with the codes!

This applet should generate 3 random colours, in the 3 coloured boxes to simulate the rolling of 3 dice. The player choose in the 3 drop down menu below the dice as guesses for what will be thrown.
When the button is is pressed, the 3 die are "rolled" and their scores are matched with the guesses in the boxes. The player is told if there are 0, 1, 2 or 3 matches.

I charge $60/hour. Will you be paying by paypal?

If you would like help with your homework, then maybe you could give it a try, post the code, and include a detailed description of what you are having trouble with and why you did what you did.

We don't do your homework for you (for free).

If you have something already started, post it inside a code tag, and someone will give you help.

Listen! Am not lazy & am not asking 4 anybody 2 do the entire work 4 me. Am simple asking 4 help with ideas & suggestions regarding what I've already done.

It would be nice to let us know what you needed to do without making us have to go find what is missing in your code. I'm assuming that your just missing the dropdown menus.

First off, instead of calling repaint(), I would use update() as it will make your life a lot easier when trying to debug since you won't have to worry about any concurrent drawing.

As for the menus. Use a JComboBox (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/JComboBox.html). Then when the button is pressed, roll the dice and get their colors. Then check if the color corresponds to what is in the ComboBox.
