    Default Some Simple Advice?

    Hey people, i'm new to this particular forum, and i'm not sure if this would be the correct place to ask this question or not. What i'm wondering is if this would be the right place to post my code and have people judge it and tell me if it would be a pretty good project to pursue and make it better or not.
    If this isn't the correct place then could anyone point me to where i would post.
    Other wise i'll check back again later to see if anyone says if this would be the right place to post and if it is then i'll place my code and ask you all to judge it.

    Thanks :]

    Depends how much code there is. If you post too much, people will likely not look through it. However, if you provide manageable chunks (SSCCE) we can take a look at it and give you pointers (no pun intended).

    Alright, here it is , and it consists of two classes i have in different files, not sure if it's necessary to have them in seperate files though:

    What it's suppose to do is pop up a JFrame, and from there you can select a photo aka a portion of your screen that you would like to search for on the screen (Could be useful for some games), and once it finds it it moves your mouse to the "photo".
    Currently i havn't gotten it to work quite as i would like it to, but sometimes it comes really close and other times it is far off, so if anyone could post any advice on whats wrong on that it's be helpful (errors come in RunnerProgram.locatePhoto)

    So thanks for all who both judge to see if this would be good to keep of following, and to those who give advice on how to solve errors produced.
