Thread: GUI part in lines of action

i have a problem with GUI i can't write the code for lines of action and the deadline of submission is tomorrow midnight (Cairo : gmt+2)
i work on eclipse, can any body help me with that?

--- Update ---

i've written the code of the engine part and my whole problem is in the java part

the thing is that i don't understand GUI so i need help with it.

take a look at this. it's my gui code till now and it doesn't show the board when i run,, it shows an emty window. why is that ?

the first class

--- Update ---

i tried deleting the main method in the second class but that was useless

No i don't get any errors it is executed and run perfectly but the problem is the frame opens is blank and has no panels (board) in it.
and this is the full text pasted above and as i stated in it these are two separate classes.

Firstly you need to initialize the individual JPanels. Secondly, you need to add them to something.

 
board[i][j] = new JPanel();
add(board[i][j];

take a look at this,, it shows no errors but it doesn't run what is the reason ?
and it runs correctly showing the board without any checkers(buttons) when i remove any add statements.

public BoardGui() {

setBounds(0, 0, 600, 600);
setResizable(false);
board = new JPanel[8][8];
setLayout(new GridLayout(8, 8));
for (int i = 0; i < board.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < board[i].length; j++) {
board[i][j] = new JPanel();
getContentPane().add(board[i][j]);
}
}

int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i != board.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j != board.length; j++) {

if (count % 2 == 0) {
board[i][j].setBackground(Color.CYAN);
} else {
board[i][j].setBackground(Color.DARK_GRAY);
}

count++;
}
count++;
}
ButtonGui b = new ButtonGui();
for (int i = 0; i <= board.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j <= board.length; j++) {
board[i][j] = new JPanel();

}
}
for (int i = 1; i < 7; i++) {

board[0][i].add(b);
board[7][i].add(b);
}
for (int i = 1; i < 7; i++) {
board[i][0].add(b);
board[i][7].add(b);
}

}

You should combine your for loops, no need to go through the same procedure 3 times. Are you just adding buttons for the click listener? You should be getting compile time errors for trying to call getContentPane() JPanel doesn't have that method, and setResizable(). Those are both methods for the JFrame. Also, there is no reason to add a JPanel to the frame and then add the boardgui to the panel. Just add the boardgui (it is a JPanel) to the frame. And the method you are using will not create a checker board, just columns of the same color. What Ide are you using? It makes no sense that you are not getting errors. And you are adding the same button to all of the jpanels.

--- Update ---

JFrame is the easel, JPanel is the canvas, and Graphics are the paintbrush. You should use the graphics to paint, it will give you more control.
