Due Date: Friday, December 6 at Midnight
Late Due Date: none

PURPOSE:

This is an extra credit assignment based on a three-part assignment. The requirements for the first part were for you to design a virtual pest and its behavior. The requirements for the second part were for you to implement the user interface and design the structure for the software that implements the behavior. The final part was to add the described behavior using JavaScript functions and statements.

For this part, you may convert your virtual pest to a Java applet.
