How to manage a lot of Action Listeners for multiple buttons
- by Wumbo4Dayz
I have this Tic Tac Toe game and I thought of this really cool way to draw out the grid of 9 little boxes. I was thinking of putting buttons in each of those boxes.
How should I give each button (9 buttons in total) an ActionListener that draws either an X or O?
Should they each have their own, or should I do some sort of code that detects turns in this? Could I even do a JButton Array and do some for loops to put 9 buttons. So many possibilities, but which one is the most proper?
Code so far:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Board extends JPanel implements ActionListener{
public Board(){
Timer timer = new Timer(25,this);
timer.start();
}
@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g){
for(int y = 0; y < 3; y++){
for(int x = 0; x < 3; x++){
g.drawRect(x*64, y*64, 64, 64);
}
}
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
repaint();
}
}
