Lab 7 Loops (II)

MonoDisplay.java
void pause(int t)
t
This represents the time (in milliseconds)
The screen will pause for duration of t milliseconds. This is to control
the speed of animation on the screen.
public static void main(String[] args)
{
MonoDisplay.openDisplay();
MonoDisplay.setPixelON(3,8);
MonoDisplay.pause(100); // pause the screen for 100ms
MonoDisplay.setPixelOFF(3,8);
}

MonoDisplay.java
void closeDisplay()
Nil
This will close the window.
public static void main(String[] args)
{
MonoDisplay.openDisplay();
MonoDisplay.pause(100);
MonoDisplay.closeDisplay();
}

Add in App.java with the main method

1.4

Testing

Make sure you test at least the 4 corners of the screen, the center of the screen, and when the
user input is not within 0-9 for row and 0-19 for column.
