title: How to animate Tower of Hanoi?
body: <p>So I'm trying to animate the common puzzle Tower of Hanoi. I already wrote the algorithm to do this in the console, but I want to make a JApplet that pops up and animates the puzzle being solved after I ask for the number of disks. Here is my code for the algorithm if that helps. Just looking for some instruction, no need to write out the entire code. Thanks.</p>
  
  <p>This is my code for the algorithm.</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class TowerofHanoi extends JFrame{
  
   static int count= 0;
  
  public void move(int n, String start, String auxiliary, String end) {
  
         if (n == 1) {
             count++;
             System.out.println(start + " -&gt; " + end);
         } else {
             count++;
             move(n - 1, start, end, auxiliary);
             System.out.println(start + " -&gt; " + end);
             move(n - 1, auxiliary, start, end);
         }
     }
  
  public static void main(String[] args) {
      // TODO Auto-generated method stub
         TowerofHanoi towersOfHanoi = new TowerofHanoi();
         System.out.print("Enter number of discs: ");
         Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
         int discs = scanner.nextInt();
         towersOfHanoi.move(discs, "A", "B", "C");
         System.out.println("This puzzle took "+count+" moves.");
     }
  
   public void paint(Graphics g) {
          g.drawRect (10, 10, 200, 200);  
  
        }
   public TowerofHanoi(){
       setPreferredSize(new Dimension(WIDTH, HEIGHT));
   }
      }

  <p>This is my code for the JApplet.</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class Graphics_TOH {
  
  public static void main(String[] args) {
      // TODO Auto-generated method stub
      JFrame frame = new JFrame ("Draw Person");
         frame.setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
         TowerofHanoi panel = new TowerofHanoi ();
         frame.getContentPane().add(panel);
         frame.pack();
         frame.setVisible(true);
  }
