Thread: Help with turning Sudoku into Magic Sudoku

Hey guys, i've been trying to make my sudoku into magic one, in other words to make so the 3x3 squares to be magic squares. I've been reading in a lot of forums for this but still no sucess. Hope smb will help me. Here is the code i am trying to modify:

import java.util.*;
import java.util.concurrent.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
 
public class SuDoKu extends JFrame implements ActionListener, KeyListener, Runnable{
 
	public static void main(String args[]){
		SuDoKu app = new SuDoKu();
		app.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		app.setSize(470, 520);
		app.setResizable(false);
		app.setVisible(true);
	}
	int name1,name2;
	int time;
	Random r = new Random();
 
	private JTextField grid [][] = new JTextField [9][9];
	private JButton solveButton = new JButton("Solve");
	private JButton clearButton = new JButton("Clear");
	private JButton resetButton = new JButton("Reset");
	private JLabel guesses = new JLabel("Guesses: 0");
	private int guess = 0;
	private JPanel textPanel = new JPanel();
	private JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel();
	private boolean running = false;
	private Thread t;
	private int id1, id2;
 
	public SuDoKu(){
		textPanel.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());

		for (int l = 0; l < 9; l++){
			sepx = 0;
			c.gridy = l+sepy;
 
			for (int k = 0; k < 9; k++){
				grid[l][k] = new JTextField("", 1);
				grid[l][k].addKeyListener(this);
				grid[l][k].setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 50));
				grid[l][k].setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.CENTER);
				grid[l][k].setPreferredSize(new Dimension(50, 50));
				grid[l][k].setMinimumSize(new Dimension(50, 50));
				c.gridx = k+sepx;
				textPanel.add(grid[l][k], c);
 
				if (k % 3 == 2 && k != 8){
					JSeparator separx = new JSeparator(SwingConstants.VERTICAL);
					separx.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
					separx.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(1, 50));

Hi and welcome Murlio.

Please read: This Forum is for Saying Hi, not for Asking Technical Questions (READ BEFORE POSTING)
Please see the announcements page for the use of code tags when posting code, as well as other helpful forum tips.

I for one have no idea what a magic square is. If you need help, ask some kind of question or post far more details about what the code actually does, and be very descriptive as to what you want to change. Don't forget code tags and any error messages you may be getting.
