thanks a lot guys.
i'll get started and see what I can come up with.

hi guys.
I've been given a simplistic pinball game to design and code but unfortunately even after 2 years of programming in java I have no idea about graphics.
I read through the java tutorials on the sun website but they weren't really much help.
I was just wondering where to start?
having looked at some basic pong games poeple have done has made some things a bit clearer but I'm still lacking the underlying ideas.
i think about the whole program and i get worried bout creating shapes such as circles and triangles then the collision detection in them.
flippers- i mean come on!!!
far too much to to just jump in feet first and this is something i'd really like to tackle by myself (however no doubt further assistance will be required!)

so any basic tutorials/websites you could suggest would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance guys.

Cheers

A very stumped programmer
