JApplet creates a ball that bounces and gradually drops in Java

public class Circle extends JApplet {

public class Circle extends JApplet {
    public void paint(Graphics g) {         
        int x=100;
        int y=100;
        int diameter=50;
        int xResize=500;
        int yResize=500;
        super.paint(g);
        resize(xResize,yResize);
        g.drawOval(x,y,diameter,diameter);
    }
}

So I try to create a ball that bounces up and down and gets smaller I need to use the following code as a class to set up my next actual operation class I know I need to set the current code as constructors, instance variables and methods to create objects, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this

In addition, how do I move the drawn image up and down in the applet?

Solution

This is a basic example of this idea

Basically, when you press the spacebar, it will produce a vertical motion, which will gradually slow down over time until it runs out of energy, and it will fall and rebound until it doesn't "rebound"
