That's my code, for some reason it recognizes g.setColor(color);, but it won't recognize any other instance of g. I don't understand why!

If it says it can't find fillCircle(), maybe there is no such method for Graphics. Do you, perhaps, need to use fillOval()?

*Cough*
Look, the real question here is not who meant to use what, the real question is, how fast can we ignore this and pretend I DIDN'T use circle.

EDIT:
Hey I did the frame version without error, yay I'm getting better at graphics! I'm terrible with it right now T_T
