Snowflake

Classic programmed-learning exercises, refreshed for modern Java and presented in the current MrStyner.com portfolio style.

Modern Java noteThis archive has been refreshed for Java 25 LTS. Core language concepts remain useful, while outdated setup instructions and browser-era Java are labeled or replaced. Java 26 is the current feature release; Java 25 is used here as the stable teaching baseline.
Historical topic: Java appletsModern web browsers do not run Java applets. The Applet API was deprecated for removal before Java 25 and was removed in Java 26. Treat applet examples on this page as historical object-oriented/GUI examples; for new desktop interfaces use Swing where appropriate or JavaFX/OpenJFX.

Answer:

drawLine( int x0, int y0, int x1, int y1)

Snowflake

The first applet of this chapter draws the snowflake figure that was discussed in the first chapter on recursion. The snowflake consists entirely of straight lines. The only drawing method used is the drawLine() method.

Embedded Java applet removed: modern browsers do not support Java applets. The surrounding source code is retained for historical study.

You should see a snowflake figure. It may take 30 seconds or so for this to load. If you see nothing after a few minutes, click on the "reload" icon of your browser. If after this you still see nothing, check that your browser has applets enabled. If you are behind a firewall, it may be blocking applets.

QUESTION 3:

What is the basic shape of the snowflake figure?
