Moving ball applet – Java

This is a Java class that uses some trigonometry and vector mathematics in its implementation.  An object of type MovingBall holds data about a “ball” that has a color, radius, position, speed, and direction. The ball is restricted to moving around inside a rectangle in the xy-plane. The ball can draw itself in a graphics context and will move when it is told to move.

The Blackjack game written in Java provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for players to enjoy a simplified version of the classic card game.

The game features a deck of standard playing cards, including numbered cards, face cards (King, Queen, Jack), and Aces, each contributing their respective values to the hand.
