Hi guys, my CPS 181 class professor is having us right a OOP Program that asks user for board colors and checker colors and then draws it out on a canvas. I have everything written correctly but i dont know how to get my checkers to place on specific squares. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
To save space i will post ONLY the driver (checkerboard.java) and not the other .java files im using
Code:/**
* This is the start of the checkerboard
* program that displays a checkerboard in
* the starting position.

public class CheckerBoard {
// Put your data attributes here
private Square[][] sqrs; // Declare a 2D array
private Circle[][] circles;
private final int NUMROWS = 8;
private final int NUMCOLS = 8;
private final int SIZESQUARE = 50;
private final int BORDER = 40;
private final int SIZECIRCLE = 30;
public int color;
/**

board.create();
}

// Instantiate or initialize attributes here

circles = null;
}
