    Default Getting code working with gui

    I'm a relative novice to java, and especially swing, but I recently decided to try and make a simple ticktacktoe game, no AI, just the basic mechanics.

    The board will represented by a two dimensional, 3 x 3, array, with each index representing a square on the ticktacktoe board.

    When a space is clicked, either an 'x' or an 'o' is inserted into the corresponding index.

    What I'm having trouble with is relating the array to an image of a ticktacktoe board. How will the indexes of the array be related to the squares on the board? When the user clicks a certain square on the board, how will the computer know which index of the array to place a value in?

    Apologies if you find this offensively simple.

    Not offensively simple, just hard to answer given the generality. Could be implemented in a number of ways. Recommend you have a go and if you encounter problems post again as they come along. And read the final link below
