    Default Rectangles

    I'm not sure why this program doesn't make a moving rectangle:

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
     
        import java.awt.*;
        import javax.swing.*;
     
        public class Advertisement extends JApplet implements Runnable
        {
            Thread animator;
            int yPosition;
     
            public void init()
            {
                JRootPane rootPane = this.getRootPane();
                rootPane.putClientProperty("defeatSystemEventQueueCheck",
                    Boolean.TRUE);
            }
     
            public void start()
            {
                xPosition = 0;
                yPosition = 0;
                animator = new Thread(this);
                animator.start();
            }
            public void paint(Graphics g)
            {
                g.setColor(Color.cyan);
                g.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
                g.setColor(Color.red);
                g.fillRect(xPosition, yPosition, 100, 100);
     
            }
     
            public void run()
            {
                while (Thread.currentThread() == animator)
                {
                    xPosition = xPosition +1;                
                    yPosition = yPosition +1;
                    repaint();
     
                    if (yPosition >350)
                    {
                        yPosition = 50;
                    }
                    if (xPosition >350)
                    {
                        xPosition = 50;
                    }
                   try
                   {
                       Thread.sleep(10);
                    }
                    catch (InterruptedException e)
                    {
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }
     
        public void stop()
        {
            animator = null;
        }
    }
    }

    You update some position variables, but you never repaint so those new position variables are never used.
