cartoon face generator

[webznz]

Hey guys, just looking into developing a cartoon face generator in my spare time that would work straight from a webpage where people could enter a few values like weight, height etc and then a random cartoon face could be created.

I was hoping someone here might have some experience or ideas on how to achieve this. I have limited Java knowledge, I do most of my programing in C++

One of the main questions I have is how to overlay images on-top of each other to create a single image.

any tips, ideas or points in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Google for java image handling, java image tutorials, java image transparency etc. There's loads of articles on handling images in Java and java does support transparency so you can overlay images.
