Now this is an assignment for me, but ive spent the last two weeks writing this code day and night, I just cant get it out of my head, I have to beat it lol. So anyway, two days ago I won and completed my program exactly the way I wanted it and I decided to try and use JFrameBuilder to build me a GUI to use my code. Well three sleepless night later its totally beaten me :( I would be so grateful if someone could take a look for me and tell me where im going wrong. I decided once the gui loaded up to use a start button to start running my code. Now I dont want it to do anything fancy, I just was trying to get it to display my code in the JTextArea but its absolutley defeated me. I think I have two problems, one when the code is run, I dont think its pausing to wait for the user input, like at the "Would you like to start a new Towers of Hanoi game? [Y/N]" prompt. And maybe im trying to execute my code the wrong way???
First i'll post my main GUI code then i'll post my working game code main im trying to integrate.
I'd be eternally grateful if anyone has any ideas.
