Sounds like what you need to learn about is event handling in Java. Start with Sun's tutorial, http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/index.html, and you'll find something useful I'm sure.

Edit:
In fact, http://onesearch.sun.com/search/clic...ve&col=javadoc is the page that covers event handling and graphics. Should be a good starting point.

You should check out ActionListener and MouseListener as well.

Well, if you're looking for, lets say, a mouse click in a certain location to change the oven's color, then you could say, in the mouseClicked(Event e) method:

(Toggle Plain Text)

 /* minX, maxX, minY, maxY for oven range are defined above*/
 
 
 int xLoc = e.getX();
 int yLoc = e.getY();
 if(x > minX && x<maxX && y>minY && y < maxY)
 {
 	 changeColor();
 }

That's somewhat how it should look. Of course, you'd have to define all those variables, and the changeColor() method.
