Open JFrame

[AndersBjörnör]

Hi,
I got a problem. I want my program too start with Text and a start button. When the start button is called it should open a new JFrame with the game. Here is the main class:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class GregerSnake extends JFrame{
private Board field = new Board();
private JButton[] button = new JButton[4];
private String[] buttonText ={"New Game","Menu","Com", "Cancel"};
private JPanel u;
private JLabel o, p;      //o är titeln

    public GregerSnake(){

        u = new JPanel();
        u.setBackground(Color.lightGray);

        o = new JLabel("GregerSnake");
        o.setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 40));
        u.add(o);

        MyListener myL = new MyListener();

        for(int i=0;i<button.length;i++){
            button[i] = new JButton();
            button[i].setText(buttonText[i]);
            button[i].addActionListener(myL);
            u.add(button[i]);
        }

        Container c = getContentPane();
        c.add(u, BorderLayout.NORTH);
        c.add(field, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        field.startGame();
    }

    class MyListener implements ActionListener{
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
            field.requestFocus();
            if(ae.getSource() == button[0]){
                field.newGame();
            }
            else if(ae.getSource() == button[1]){
            //    field.startMenu();
            }
            else if(ae.getSource() == button[2]){
                field.killCom();
            }
            else if(ae.getSource() == button[3]){
                System.exit(0);
            }
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        GregerSnake gt = new GregerSnake();
	gt.setVisible(true);
        gt.setSize(586, 585);
        gt.setTitle("GregerSnake");
	gt.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        gt.setResizable(false);
        gt.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    }

}

Rather than open a new Window, why not swap JPanels with a CardLayout and show your game in the center of the current JFrame?

Why don't you take a look at the games that come installed on you OS. I know Windows comes with many games, like Hearts, Solitaire etc. Look at the UI of those games and design you game based on that. I'm sure those game designers know more than you or I do, so follow there design.

The basic design that I've noticed is to use Menus to start/stop/configure a game.
