    Cool Chess game help

    Hey,

    I am trying to make a chess game (just two players, no computer player just yet) and dont really know where to start. I was thinking a main class to call the other classes, a board class to make the board, a pieces class to make the pieces, and possibly a logic class for the logic of the game.

    Again, I dont really know where to start, any suggestions?

    how so? should I do grid layout and just add (I think) 64 squares of black or brown and white? Secondly would I implement an actionListener to this or would I do that for the pieces class?

    What makes sense? How would you use an ActionListener? What class supports ActionListeners?
    What object would you want to know if it had been clicked on?
