Help with a Program I am writing! Please!

Question

Hello All,
This is my first post...I hope to find some answers to my program I am writing! A couple things first - I am 17, and have designed a comp. science class for myself to take while a senior in high school, since there was not one offered. My end of the 2nd term project is to write a program that encompasses the information I have learned about for the past two terms. I know the very basics, if that. Please help!
My program involves the simple dice throwing program, 'Dice Thrower' by Kevin Boone. The full text/program write out can be found at:
http://www.kevinboone.com/PF_DiceThrower-java.html
I am hoping to add a part to this program that basically tells the program if the dice show doubles, pop up a little GUI window that says "You are a Winner! You Got Doubles!"
I was thinking as I finished chapter 7 in my text book, that either an 'if/else' or 'switch' statement might be the right place to start.
Could someone please write me a start to the program text that I need to add to 'Dice Thrower', or explain what I need to do to get started! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

}That was what I have dwindled it down to, using my knowledge, as well as others' expertise...however I am listening to what you say, and get these messages when I try to compile in the CMD:
line 63 - illegal start of expression (carrot at p in public)
line 63 - ; expected (carrot at c in class)
line 63 - { expected (carrot at ; at end of line)
line 65 - illegal start of expression (carrot at p in public)
line 83 - <identifier> expected (carrot as: (this) ) -- I don't even know what that means ^
line 84 - invalid method declaration; return type required (carrot at a in add)
line 84 - <identifier> expected (carrot like this: [see below])
addMouseListener(diceThrowerMouseListener);
^
line 84 - ) expected (carrot is one place over from previous spot [see above]
line 93 - illegal start of expression (carrot at p in public)
I know this seems like a lot of errors, but believe it or not, I actually had it up in the high teens and was able to fix some of them myself from going by previous examples, as well as looking things up in my text book. If anyone has any suggestions concerning the syntax errors of the code, please please let me know and I will work my hardest to fix them...thank you all so much for helping.
