The link only contains a picture! More information would be useful!

Sorry, my bad. Don't worry about that pic, i have to do make a simple java game and i was thinking of dping Noughts and crosses, if you have a code for me to play that game could anyone give it to me because i really want to get up the class because i droped 4 places after the last 4 assessments

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
      for (int i = 0; i<3; i++)
      {
        for (int j=0; j<3;j++)
        {
          cell[i][j] = new Button();
          cell[i][j].addActionListener(this);
          board.add(cell[i][j]);
        }
       }
       // positions the items on the screen
       setLayout(new BorderLayout());
       add("Center",board);
       add ("West", blankL);
       add("East", blankR);
       add("North", info);
       add("South",error);

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 grifter140@yahoo.com.

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
