Setting up a game board
Hey, i was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers on how to set up a game board using JFrame or an Applet?
fyi the game i am trying to make is checkers
Ok got the game board i think...
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class CheckersBoard
final int EMPTY = 0;
final int RED = 1;
final int BLACK = 2;
int board[][];
void checkersData()
board = new int[8][8];
setUpGame();
int pieceAt(int row, int col)
return board[row][col];
void setUpGame() //* Set up the board with checkers in position for the beginning
//* of a game.
//* The first 3 rows contain black pieces, last 3 rows contain
//* red pieces
for (int row = 0; row < 8; row++)
for (int col = 0; col < 8; col++)
if ( row % 2 == col % 2 )
if (row < 3)
board[row][col] = BLACK;
else if (row > 4)
board[row][col] = RED;
else
board[row][col] = EMPTY;
else
board[row][col] = EMPTY;
} } // end setUpGame()
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
/* Draw the squares of the checkerboard and the checkers. */
for (int row = 0; row < 8; row++)
for (int col = 0; col < 8; col++)
if ( row % 2 == col % 2 )
g.setColor(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
else
g.setColor(Color.GRAY);
g.fillRect(2 + col*20, 2 + row*20, 20, 20);
switch (pieceAt(row,col))
case CheckersData.RED:
g.setColor(Color.RED);
g.fillOval(4 + col*20, 4 + row*20, 15, 15);
break;
case CheckersData.BLACK:
g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
g.fillOval(4 + col*20, 4 + row*20, 15, 15);
break;
}//end class checkersboardbut now im stuck...I kno i need an abstract class piece, then create redPiece and blackPiece extending into piece. and i also need to input the rules, which i think i will add to the gameBoard class. And a class for people. Im not sure how to do any of that =P, ill be reading up on it more over the next couple of hours so plz drop some hints if u can.
PS, I have no idea how to display my board...

First project, an applet game board.
Dear coders,
I cannot get my carefully constructed color arrays to color the tiles in my game board.
If some kind person would kindly peruse my scratchings and show me how to get my colors on to the tiles, I would be most grateful.
Here is the code as far as I have been able to take it.

I still have this color problem with the gameboard applet ...
It compiles ok but doesn't work the way it should.
This line sets random tile-color-numbers (0 to 13) thus:
board [x] [y] = ( ( rnd.nextInt ( ) *100 ) %14 );and the lines below are supposed to read color number for the tile and draw it accordingly:
g.setColor ( tileColour [ board [x] [y] ] ) ;
g.fillRect ( 16+x*16, 16+y*16,14,14 ) ;This is not working. It draws one tile in black and stops without throwing an error.
So, I commented it out
g.setColor ( tileColour [ board [x] [y] ] ) ;and substituted
g.setColor ( Color.cyan ) ;Just to check that it covers the board.
I cannot understand why it is not working.

FloralMatchMaker sample how do bring the game board to the front of the scene
Want to use the example FloralMatchMaker but want to add an image in the background
When I do this , the game board is behind the pic in the final scene and can not be clicked
How do I get the game board to come to the frontUse CSS z-index to move your background back or board up.sym.$("background").css("z-index":1);
And a higher number for the rest.
I do not have a way to look at it right away, so I not sure what the setting is. But usually z-index manipulation works. -
[Newbie] Which JAVA API is a good choice for creating a game board?
I'm a newbie in JAVA game programming.
I would like to create a chess game for fun. I have a fairly good idea on how I want it to be, but I'm having some difficulty on the game board.
I am not sure which set of JAVA API I should be using to design my board. I guess that the board will sits in the back, and in the front, there'll be my chess pieces that I can drag and drop.
Should I be using JAVA Swing to do this? or JAVA 2D API? It will require some study for either one, so I figure I should pick a good one to learn.
Thanks in advance! :-)Also if you would like to create a much simpler, 2D chess game, I would suggest you use the Swing API, which comes with Java from version 1.2 and on up. Naturally I would suggest at least using the latest 1.4 or 1.5 software development kit, because they have greater and more stable features, bug fixes and so on. I also would suggest you go to the library or Barnes and Noble nearest you, and pick up a book on Java. One recommendation that may be simpler to get an understanding of Java is from Deitel and Deitel: http://www.deitel.com/books/jHTP6/ though my beginner's Java book was geared directly toward how to program games (small games like memory, or tetris), though I can't remember what it was called. Anyway I believe it is very important to learn the basics of Java before you get into things that you may or may not understand. My opinion, so have a go at it.

When using FF 5.0, rollover type ads (i.e. ads for XBOX) on Facebook game Lexulous pages are 'enlarged' and block 1/3 of the game board. Using up to date versions of Win 7 Home Premium, Adobe Flash and ActiveX on an HP Pavillion dv7 laptop. Does NOT happen at all in MS IE 8, but occurs every time in FF 5.0.
Also, Google 'translate this page' links do not work in FF 5.0, but works in MS IE 8. All I get in FF is a blank page, time after time.Hi,
I am using a Nvidia 4200M adapter in my Laptop, Driver 266.96, Direct X 11
In my desktop I am using an ATI XFX 6950, latest revision drivers (I am not at home right now so I cant get that info).
The issue I did describe above, but it was a long explanation.
In some flash games the game files load initially and get as far as the "click to start" button. Then the flash area usually goes either all white or all black (usually depending on the falsh game default background color) and then it stays that color. Cant see anything after hitting start (usually most games have an intro video or animation before the game starts, but I cant see any of it.
For the very few games that do start, the flash game or application does not seem to work correctly in that when the rare game starts, it wont save any game files or save files to the pc and so if I exit the game (navigate away to another page or close browser) and then later come back, even though I click the option to save games (and ensure that the flash application slider shows it can save files and lots of space) it does not save and I have to start from the beginning all the time.
More explanation I gave above. -
I haven't set up my game center with my apple id so when i am trying to set it up and get to birth date part it starts all over how do i fix this?
If the problem persists, you'll probably have to make another apple id, it wont take off any games or music or apps or anything you've bought it will all stay there, i have two apple id's and i don't have a problem with anything.

Game Board on Pogo Games is partially hidden
For some reason the game board on my Pogo games has slid or moved over under the chat area. I cannot get it to move back. I can enlarge the outside screen but the game board doesn't move. Their support services have been unable to resolve the problem. I have tried changing the screen resolution, but it doesn't help. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Moving a jpg on a game board to the correct number of spaces
I am currently doing a project for college and I am stuck. First of all I have a picture of a game board on screen. I have an array of objects which include position, x coord, y coord and instruction on each space. What I need to do is move a picture of a car the correct number of spaces that I have spun e.g if I spin a 3 then I would have to move 3 spaces. After I have draged the car I have to check if it is a valid move and if it is I have to follow the instructions on the space landed on. I was hoping someone could give me a few pointers in the right direction. Thanks

HT4314 setting up multiple game center accounts
how do i set up more than one Game Center accounts without having to set up more itunes accounts. my kids want to play each other in Blockheads but they are all logged into the same game center account that i set up when i started using the iphone way back...
See:
Multiple game center accounts for...: Apple Support Communities -
How does one set up more than one game center profile on a single itunes account? For example, my daughter is too young for her own itunes account but would like her own Game Center profile to except invites and play games with her friends. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I play scrabble with a friend on Lexulus, when she has made a play
I get an e-mail on AOL with a link to Lexulus. That link takes me to the site and the game but the board doesn't show. On internet explorer it does.I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.

Creating a game board, as a grid
Hi everyone,
i have to write a cluedo like game in java for a class i'm taking. I've already created the game logic, and now i have to implemente a graphic interface using Swing: i have all the boxes contained in a large array. Now how can i print them on screen, using different boxes for each room, displaying walls, and so on, creating then the Cluedo board? Can anybody help me? Swing hasn't been covered much during the course... :(
Thanks!
IacopoOk, i read the tutorial, though i'm stucked trying to print the board in a JFrame as a JLayeredPanel. My intention is to print in the bottom layer, the backgroud (i.e. the grid where the pawns move) and in the layer above the pawns themselves.
I wrote this code, but it just won't show the background of my boxes....please help me!
Thanks... ;-)

Websites blocked because of security settings I didn't set for Yahoo games
I've been playing Yahoo games for years. About 3 days ago, they failed to load. When I asked about it, I saw that lots of other people were having the same problem. So I waited. This morning I tried to get into one of the games and got: Application Blocked because of Security Settings". I didn't set any different security settings. Then something about expired jre?? Wassup?
hello, this dialog comes from the java plugin you've installed and is not related to firefox. please refer to the documentation about the issue provided by java/oracle: https://www.java.com/en/download/help/jcp_security.xml

I have been trying to log in to the game center for 2 days now with no luck. I have an apple id and have never used game center before. It keeps telling me my email is already in use with another apple id and I have no idea how to get around this and would like to be able to play my games.
If the problem persists, you'll probably have to make another apple id, it wont take off any games or music or apps or anything you've bought it will all stay there, i have two apple id's and i don't have a problem with anything.

http://forums.livewire-records.com/list.php?f=1
I've never done one before, so does anyone know the easiest
way to do this? I don't know php so I don't want to have to work it
up from scratch. Is there some kind of "plug and play" way to put
up a message board?Well, there are arguments for each. phpBB tends to be the
most popular with arguably the largest community. However, it's
previous version was very susceptible to hacks because it was so
common although that was one of the areas they drastically improved
on by completely rewriting their script from the ground up for
version 3. I would say their Admin CP is one of the better looking
ones.
Simple Machines has a fairly strong community as well. They
are in the process of going from version 1 to 2 right now which
marks some major improvements. This project is *not* open-source
even though it is free to download and use.
myBB I would say right now has the most to gain from a new
version. Their Admin CP is the worst of the 3 right now, although
the next version currently in beta does show a lot more promise for
this board. They are open-source like phpBB and the community is
good.
So just to simplify what I stated. phpBB is the only one that
has completed their transition to the next version. Both SMF and
myBB are currently both transitioning to newer versions. All of
these have community based support. SMF is the only one of the
three that has paid services because they are the only project that
is not open-source. So they do have staff on hand if you choose to
pay for yearly support which is a plus for them. The rest expect
you to handle it on your own or ask community members for help.
My best suggestion to you since they are free is to download
and try them for yourself. They all have installers which make the
setup process fairly easy. And if they have a demo of the next
version which SMF does and myBB has a link to a demo (
http://beta.mybbfans.com/mybb_140b/
). Just ignore waiting for the registration email even though it
says you will get one. Once you register you should be able to log
in and make yourself an admin to see it for yourself.
