GUI[help]

[M2G]

I have a java project to make a tic-tac-toe game with variable dimensions and variable number of players.
For example, if the grid is 9x9. Players will play normally trying to make 3 consecutive X or 0. Each player will have a score which will be incremented if he manages to make 3 consecutive X or 0.


So far I made this:

i want that buttons grid to be modified by those radiobuttons and I don't know how to do that.
When i press the radio button 5x5 I want the buttton grid to be modified by that dimension.

Here I gave that grid variable the value 3 so i could test it.

    public Xsi0View(SingleFrameApplication app) {
        super(app);
        [COLOR="Red"]grid=3[/COLOR];
        [COLOR="Red"]int dimensiune = (grid*grid)[/COLOR];
        
        initComponents();
        
        for(int i=1; i<=dimensiune; i++){
            buttons[i] = new JButton();
            tabla.add(buttons[i]);
            buttons[i].addActionListener(this);
        }

    }

This is initComponents with the GUI generated by Net Beans:

Sorry about cross posting. I needed a fast answer. Anyway i solved the problem and i managed to code what i wanted.

This is how i made it!

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

public class GUI extends JFrame{
    static final String dimensiune[] = {"3", "5", "7", "9"};
    private int dimbuton = 3;
