javaswingjbuttontic-tac-toe

Hello I am creating a TicTacToe game for myself to understand Java better

however I am not sure where I am supposed to enter the whoWins() method. Do I enter this method in the actionperformed Method of the buttons or do i need to something different. Please help.

public class TTT extends JFrame implements ActionListener {

        private JButton buttons[] = new JButton[9];
        private JButton exitButton;
        public JLabel title;
        public JPanel titlePanel, panel;
        private int count = 0;
        int symbolCount = 0;
        private boolean win = false;

        public TTT() {

            title = new JLabel("Welcome to my Tic Tac Toe Game!");
            titlePanel = new JPanel();
            title.setFont(new Font(Font.SERIF, 0, 30));
            titlePanel.add(title);
            this.add(titlePanel, BorderLayout.NORTH);

            panel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(3, 3));
            for (int i = 0; i < buttons.length; i++) {
                buttons[i] = new JButton();
                panel.add(buttons[i]);
                buttons[i].setEnabled(true);
                buttons[i].addActionListener(this);
            }
            this.add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER);

            JPanel panel1 = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER));
            exitButton = new JButton("Quit");
            panel1.add(exitButton);
            this.add(panel1, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
            exitButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {

Solution

  • If you really want to do this right, then I suggest making some big changes, some M-V-C type changes:

    • First and foremost, separate out the logic of the game from the game GUI. This would mean that the code that determines who wins should not be in any code that contains GUI type code. This will be your "model"
    • Next you should never have GUI code implement listener interfaces, so try to get that out of the GUI and possibly have it go into its own class, the "Control" class.
    • Finally the GUI or "View" class will concern itself with displaying the model's state and getting input from the user and transmitting this input to the control.

    For example,...

    import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
