Trying to make a snake game

Question

Hi, I'm trying to turn this into a snake game like the one on nokia except a little bit different. I want it to start from a position (user is asked a co-ordinate to choose from), have like small sports as obstacles (about 20?) Then every time it touches one of the obstacles they disappear and the snake changes direction until all obstacles are touched. I don't want any controls, just the snake to move randomly. I've done some of the coding but am really new and would appreciate if anyone would help out so I can gain more experience with java.
Here are the java class files:

http://rapidshare.com/files/436967564/Draw.class
Below is the code:
*  Compilation:  javac Spot0.java
*  Dependencies: Draw.class MyDraw.class
import java.awt.Color;
public class Spot0 {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    //define size of canvas
    final int canvassize = 600;
    //number of overall steps and time to wait in game
    final int overallsteps = 2500;
    final int timeToWait = 5;
    // startposition and size of the spot
    final int spotsize = 50;
    int x = 200;
    int y = 300;
    //change in horizontal and vertical direction
    int dx = 2;
    int dy = 3;
    MyDraw.create(canvassize, canvassize);
    drawpoint(x,y,spotsize,Color.blue,timeToWait);
    //move spot here
    for (int i = 0; i < overallsteps; i++) {
      x = x + dx;
      y = y + dy;
      drawpoint(x,y,spotsize,Color.red,timeToWait);
      if (y <= 0 || y >= canvassize) {
        dy = -dy;
      if (x <= 0 || x >= canvassize) {
        dx = -dx;
    MyDraw.show();
    System.exit(0);
  //draw a spot with coordinates (a,b) with given size and color, and wait
  private static void drawpoint(double a,double b,int size,Color color, int wait){
    MyDraw.setColor(color);
    MyDraw.go(a,b);
    MyDraw.spot(size);
    MyDraw.pause(wait);
}Thanks in advance.

Well thats all I could really do. Don't know any more about java. Could someone show me how to do it so then I could look at it and try something different myself? And if possible put comments in so I know what's going on? Thanks.Sorry mate, it doesn't really work like that here. Not a code factory.
Is this part of a course you're taking? Do you have a peer or teacher that could help you out?
Otherwise, what I'd recommend is writing down what you're trying to do in English for each individual problem, then try and translate that into Java. When you hit a problem with a particular problem in Java, we can then nudge you in the right direction...
EDIT: The other thing is, if you're really new, you might want to start with something a bit simpler. Like: http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/
