3d visual ambiguityMany 3d worlds could give rise to a single 2d image.

Event-driven execution• Events are things that happen to a graphical application

• Button Presses • Text Entries• Key Presses, Key Releases, Key Events

• Each object receiving an event notifies its “Listener”

• The Listener then handles the event appropriately

// Here's how keyboard events are handled... public void keyPressed(KeyEvent evt) { switch(evt.getKeyChar()) { case ' ': message = "You pressed a space..."; currentColor = Color.white; break;
