I have been trying for quite awhile to create a custom screen saver for windows 8.1. However through my research I have fond next to nothing on the subject, and any information I have found has either been outdated or from sources that are less than trust worthy. I have been using java for around 2 years now, but I'm still relatively new to programming in general, also I am currently using eclipse as a compiler, please help. Here is what I have currently:
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class CatScreenSaver extends Applet
{
private int runs;
private Scanner c;
private Scanner c2;
private Font myFont;
private Font error;
private int yLoc;
private boolean dir;
private Random randgen;
private Color col;
private int sleep;
private boolean start;
public CatScreenSaver() throws FileNotFoundException

runs = 0;
yLoc = 570;
dir = false;
c = new Scanner(new File("cat.txt"));
myFont = new Font("Consolas", 10, 10);
error = new Font("Consolas", 20, 20);
c2 = new Scanner(new File("cat2.txt"));
randgen = new Random();
sleep = 64;
start=true;
}

{
col =Color.LIGHT_GRAY;
setSize(4000,650);
setBackground(Color.BLACK);
}

g.setFont(error);
g.setColor(Color.red);
g.drawString("We are experiencing technical difficulties, Please wait...", 250, 50);

Also the code uses 2 text files to "print" to the screen
