java: GUI:
Write a StillClock class that displays a randomly generated time. The clock should have a hour, minute, and second hand, and should display the time in numeric form also (the hands may be tricky to display correctly, remember your trigonometry!). Extra credit: Make the clock tick (hint: make a while (true) loop with Thread.sleep(...)).

le-sigh crazy problems :p  Any idea how to start this?

anonymous · Answer

Start with generating your time values, example:
int hour, randomly select between 0 and 12
int minute, randomly select between 0 and 60

use console to print these values then start with the gui

how do i use a gui to make the clock?

As I've seen from one of the new JavaFX 8 samples  for the clock you use rotations for the ticks, and set up tick marks and numbers on the clock.  You will basically need to create a circle and work from there.
