In swing, you need an animator thread to run animation. So try make the class runnable and construct a thread.


public class Main extends JApplet implements Runnable {

Then in the run method, just call the [icode]loop()[/icode] method.


public void run()
{
    loop();
}

Now the code in methods [icode]update()[/icode] and [icode]paint()[/icode] is incorrect. Change that to


@Override
public void update(Graphics g)
{
    // Update should delegate to paint
    paint(g);
}

@Override
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
    // Just do painting here.
    draw(font, 8, 8, 0, 0, 8, 8);

    g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, APPLET_WIDTH * APPLET_SCALE, APPLET_HEIGHT * APPLET_SCALE, this);
}

This should work for you.
