java graphics runner tutorial?

I am trying to make a maze game for a self project in my programming class. However I do not know enough of the graphics runner, I only know very base methods. If someone can give me a tutorial to help me learn or a website to reference that would be great. I don't just want a bunch of code thrown at me, I want something that teaches you and has you put code in yourself. The tutorial does not have to focus on a maze, that's just where I want to end up.

Update:

Okay by "graphics runner" I mean just how the graphics work within Java. I don't know how to display much, I don't know how to change background color, or randomize objects made within the program, I need to learn more about how Java displays data as 2D objects on the screen. And the maze would be a 2D maze in which you look down on the maze from the ceiling.

    What do you mean by "graphics runner"?

    How do you want to display the maze? (1st person, or top down? some other way? using sprites? or just lines?)

    The basic idea for a game like this is to have a main game loop which continuously does this:

    a) process input

    b) update game data

    c) show game data on screen
