Hi everyone

My code is still a bit messy as I;m pressed for time.

I have to write a simple game you play against the computer. I have my StartGUI class which instantiates the GUI and then I have a Game of Life class, which does not have a JFrame, but only contains code and logic.

The program compiles, but when I run it I get loads of EventQueue errors.

Here is my GameOfLife class. I left out irrelevent code to keep the post short:

package gamePackage;

/**

 * @author MrSaVaGe
 */
public class GameOfLife {

    /*DECLARATIONS OF VARIABLES
     *
     */

    //Array that stores the status of the board position. 0 = Empty, 1 = AI controlled, 2 = Player controlled.
    int[][] blockStatus = new int[6][6];
    int plyDepth;
    boolean abPruning;
    boolean playerTurn;
    //DECLARATIONS OF FUNCTIONS


    GameOfLife()
    {
        for (int i=0;i<6;i++)
            for (int j=0;i<6;i++)
                blockStatus[i][j] = 0;

        blockStatus[0][0] = 1;
        blockStatus[6][6] = 2;

        plyDepth = 5;
        abPruning = false;
        playerTurn = true;
    }
    GameOfLife(int pd, boolean abp)
    {
        for (int i=0;i<6;i++)
            for (int j=0;i<6;i++)
                blockStatus[i][j] = 0;

        blockStatus[0][0] = 1;
        blockStatus[6][6] = 2;

        plyDepth = pd;
        abPruning = abp;

    }

}

Here is my StartGUI class, sorry it contains alot of Netbeans generated code, but since the problem is specific to creating a new object of the class I don't think it is relevant to show it.
