Tic Tac Toe Help

Jun 6th, 2005
Hey
I'm trying to write a program to make a simple Tic-Tac-Toe Program. I just started coding it, so this is my rough draft version, i haven't worked on lots of checks i know i need to do later. However I have a big problem I cant seem to figure out how to solve.

I have three types of classes but 11 in total (The actual Frame class which makes the panels, 9 panel classes which are each just a box in the TicTacToe, and a PanelObject class which has all the methods to do stuff)
--All the code for these will be provided below--

In each Panel class (ex panel0.java) i instanciate a new PanelObject so I can use the PanelObject's methods. For example: PanelObject xyz = new PanelObject(); (Then in the panel0.java class I can do: xyz.getPlayerTurn(); ) The problem with this is that everytime the program uses a different panel it makes a different PanelObject. I need to keep track of what player went so I need a way for just one PanelObject to be instanciated for all 9 panel classes. For example, when user1 clicks panel 1, i track that user1 picked, but then when user2 clicks panel2, panel2 makes a new object(doesn't use the same) so it displays the user1 stuff instead of user2.
Hope that makes sense..

Heres the code..
Frame class:
Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. import javax.swing.*;
  2. import BreezySwing.*;
  3. import java.awt.*;
  4.  
  5.  
  6. public class TicTacToeFrame extends GBFrame
  7. {
  8.  
  9. 	private JLabel header;
  10. 	private GBPanel box0,box1,box2,box3,box4,box5,box6,box7,box8;
  11. 	private Panel0 panel0;
  12. 	private Panel1 panel1;
  13. 	private Panel2 panel2;
  14. 	private Panel3 panel3;
  15. 	private Panel4 panel4;
  16. 	private Panel5 panel5;
  17. 	private Panel6 panel6;
  18. 	private Panel7 panel7;
  19. 	private Panel8 panel8;
  20.  
  21.  
  22. 	public TicTacToeFrame()
  23. 	{
  24. 		header = addLabel("TicTacToe", 1,1,1,1);
  25. 		panel0 = new Panel0();
  26. 		panel1 = new Panel1();
  27. 		panel2 = new Panel2();
  28. 		panel3 = new Panel3();
  29. 		panel4 = new Panel4();
  30. 		panel5 = new Panel5();
  31. 		panel6 = new Panel6();
  32. 		panel7 = new Panel7();
  33. 		panel8 = new Panel8();
  34.  
  35.  
  36. 		box0 = addPanel(panel0, 2,1,1,1);
  37. 		box1 = addPanel(panel1, 2,2,1,1);
  38. 		box2 = addPanel(panel2, 2,3,1,1);
  39. 		box3 = addPanel(panel3, 3,1,1,1);
  40. 		box4 = addPanel(panel4, 3,2,1,1);
  41. 		box5 = addPanel(panel5, 3,3,1,1);
  42. 		box6 = addPanel(panel6, 4,1,1,1);
  43. 		box7 = addPanel(panel7, 4,2,1,1);
  44. 		box8 = addPanel(panel8, 4,3,1,1);
  45.  
  46. 		box0.setBackground(Color.gray);
  47. 		box1.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
  48. 		box2.setBackground(Color.gray);
  49. 		box3.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
  50. 		box4.setBackground(Color.gray);
  51. 		box5.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
  52. 		box6.setBackground(Color.gray);
  53. 		box7.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
  54. 		box8.setBackground(Color.gray);
  55. public static void main(String [] args)
  56. 	{
  57. 		TicTacToeFrame GUI = new TicTacToeFrame();
  58. 		GUI.setSize(500,500);
  59. 		GUI.setVisible(true);
  60.  
  61. 	}
Heres code for ONE of the 9 panel classes I made:
Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. import BreezySwing.*;
  2. import java.awt.*;
  3.  
  4. public class Panel3 extends GBPanel
  5. {
  6. 	PanelObject xyz = new PanelObject();
  7. 	public void mousePressed(int x, int y)
  8. 	{
  9. 		Graphics g = getGraphics();
  10. 		xyz.addPick("3");
  11. 		if(xyz.getPlayerTurn() == 1)
  12. 		{
  13. 			g.drawOval(10,10,10,10);
  14. 		}
  15. 		else
  16. 		{
  17. 			g.drawRect(10,10,10,10);
  18. 		}
  19. 		if (xyz.checkIfWon() == true)
  20. 		{
  21. 			g.drawString("Congratulations Player " + xyz.getPlayerTurn() + " Won", 10 , 10);
  22. 		}
  23. 		xyz.changePlayer();
  24. 	}
  25. }

Heres code for PanelObject

  1. import javax.swing.*;

  11. 	ArrayList player2Picks = new ArrayList();
  12.  
  13.  
  14. 	//return 1 if player 1 turn, else return 2 if player 2 turn
  15. 	public int getPlayerTurn()
  16. 	{
  17. 		if(player1 == 1 )
  18. 		   return 1;
  19. 		else
  20. 		   return 2;
  21. 	}
  22.  
  23. 	//If player 1 turn over , change to player 2 turn
  24. 	public void changePlayer()
  25. 	{
  26. 		if(getPlayerTurn() == 1)
  27. 		{
  28. 			this.player1= 0;
  29. 			this.player2= 1;
  30. 		}
  31. 		else
  32. 		{
  33. 			this.player1=1;
  34. 			this.player2=0;
  35. 		}
  36.  
  37. 	}
  38. 	public void addPick(String pick)
  39. 	{
  40. 		if(getPlayerTurn() == 1)
  41. 		{
  42. 			player1Picks.add(pick);
  43.  
  44. 		}
  45. 		else
  46. 		{
  47. 			player2Picks.add(pick);
  48. 		}
  49. 	}
  50.  
  51. 	public boolean checkIfWon()

  77. 		{
  78. 			for(int i = 0; i < player1Picks.size()  ; i ++)
  79. 			{
  80. 				for(int k=0; k< picks.length  ; k++)
  81. 				{
  82. 					if(player1Picks.get(i).equals(picks[k]))
  83. 					{
  84. 						check[k]=1; // sort in order
  85. 					}

  91. 			check[3]==1 && check[4]==1 && check[5]==1 || check[6]==1 && check[7]==1 && check[8]==1)
  92. 			{
  93. 				return true;
  94. 			}
  95. 			else
  96. 				return false;
  97. 		}
  98. 		else
  99. 		{
  100. 			for(int b = 0; b < player1Picks.size()  ; b ++)
  101. 			{
  102. 				for(int c=0; c< picks.length  ; c++)

  108. 				}
  109. 			}
  110. 			if(check[0]==1 && check[1]==1 && check[2]==1 || check[0]==1 && check[4]==1 && check[8]==1 ||
  111. 			check[0]==1 && check[3]==1 && check[6]==1 || check[1]==1 && check[4]==1 && check[7]==1 ||
  112. 			check[2]==1 && check[5]==1 && check[8]==1 || check[2]==1 && check[4]==1 && check[6]==1 ||
  113. 			check[3]==1 && check[4]==1 && check[5]==1 || check[6]==1 && check[7]==1 && check[8]==1)
  114. 			{
  115. 				return true;
  116. 			}
  117. 			else
  118. 				return false;
  119.  
  120. 		}
  121.  
  122. 	}
  123. }

Note that I use this BreezySwing thing which is similar to Swing so just ignore the different syntax between them.

Also note: You ignore 90% of the code I just need to figure out how make the panel classes work with the panelObject class without making a new object every time. I just showed all the code to help understand.

Personally, I would'nt use all those classes. You could use one class and it still be just as efficent. Plus, I would use buttons and set the label of the button to either x or o, which will make it much easier to tell wether someone has won or not.
