java 2d + image rendering

[gangdv]

I was just wondering if anyone can help me with a little hobby project
I have. I am trying to basically simulate conway's game of life,
except that I allow the creatures to move without the need of a grid
(making quite complicated). But since I want this to seem pretty cool,
I was wondering if anyone can help me with my main problem, which is
using images to represent the creatures. I know enough java 2d code to
create a basic blank window and change the background color, and also
how to draw various shapes. I also know a little about translations,
but I was just wondering if anyone could give some code that does
something basic with an image, such as loading it and rotating it?
Thanks!

Look at ImageIO.read() for loading images from file or URL and use
Graphics2D.rotate() to draw your images rotated.
