I took this code from a thread I dont remember ... so its not on my credit.... anywayz it'll be helpful to you ...

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class NoughtsAndCrosses extends JPanel implements ActionListener
{
    private boolean gameOver; // to keep track of the game status
    private String player; // to keep track of the current player
    private Panel board = new Panel(); // to hold the nine cells
    private Button [][]cell= new Button [3][3]; // the cells
    // these next two labels provide a border around the cells
    private Label blankL = new Label("   ");
    private Label blankR = new Label("   ");
    // the next two labels are centre alligned
    private Label error = new Label ("",1);
    private Label info = new Label ("player X to start", 1);

    // the constructor
    public NoughtsAndCrosses()
    {
      
      setBackground(Color.yellow);
      gameOver = false;
      player = "X"; // player X to start the game
      board.setLayout(new GridLayout(3,3)); // discussed later
      // creates and adds nine buttons to the board

Hey, If you want to make cool Java Games, try to read the book titled Black art of Game Programming, I forgot the author though. : ) But If you want, you can e-mail me at [e-mail].

thanks mav2040 and nanosani

nanosani, with that code you gave me do you have another code for it but it uses the code in a different frame
