import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
public class newClickGame3 extends JApplet implements ActionListener
String click;
int digit=1,intclick;
int points=0;
int time;
int starttimesec,clickedtimesec;
JLabel label;
JButton buttons[] = new JButton[40];
JButton end,start;
public void init()
label = new JLabel("CLICK START BUTTON AND THEN CLICK THE CLICK ME BUTTON TO EARN POINTS");
Container container = getContentPane();
container.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
container.add(label);
end= new JButton("Click to end game");
end.addActionListener(this);
container.add(end);
start = new JButton("START");
start.addActionListener(this);
container.add(start);
for(int i=0;i<40;i++)
buttons=new JButton(Integer.toString(i));
buttons[i].addActionListener(this);
container.add(buttons[i]);
}//for ends
}//init ends
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
click = e.getActionCommand();
if(click.equals("START"))
{Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
  starttimesec = (now.get(Calendar.SECOND));
for(int m=0;m<40;m++)
digit = (int)(Math.random()*19);
buttons[digit].setText("Click Me");
for(int t=0;t<=9000;t++)
time = (int) (Math.random()*200);
// repaint();
