My JPanels don's stack the way I expect them to
This is my code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
class BlackjackGUI {
JButton hit;
JButton stand;
public static void main (String[] args) {
BlackjackGUI blackjack = new BlackjackGUI();
blackjack.go();
}
public void go() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setSize(500,500);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOS E);
JPanel tophalf = new JPanel();
JPanel bottomhalf = new JPanel();
JLabel guititle = new JLabel (" Blackjack V1.0 ");
JPanel dealerhandtitle = new JPanel ();
JPanel dealerhandcards = new JPanel ();
JPanel dealerside = new JPanel();
JPanel playerside = new JPanel();
JPanel playerhandtitle = new JPanel ();
JPanel playerdealerarea = new JPanel ();
JPanel playerhandcards = new JPanel ();
JPanel hitstand = new JPanel ();
JButton Hit = new JButton(" Hit ");
JButton Stand = new JButton("Stand");
JLabel dealerhandtitletext = new JLabel ("Dealer's Hand");
JLabel dealerhandcardstext = new JLabel ("Dealer's Cards");
JLabel playerhandtitletext = new JLabel ("Player's Hand");
JLabel playerhandcardstext = new JLabel ("Player's Cards");
frame.getContentPane() .add(BorderLayout.NORTH, tophalf);
frame.getContentPane() .add(BorderLayout.SOUTH, bottomhalf);
tophalf.setBackground(Color.white);
bottomhalf.setBackground(Color.darkGray);
tophalf.add(guititle);
bottomhalf.add(BorderLayout.WEST, Hit);
bottomhalf.add(BorderLayout.EAST, Stand);
frame.getContentPane() .add(BorderLayout.CENTER, playerdealerarea);
playerdealerarea.add(BorderLayout.NORTH, dealerside);
playerdealerarea.add(BorderLayout.SOUTH, playerside);
dealerside.add(BorderLayout.NORTH, dealerhandtitle);
dealerside.add(BorderLayout.SOUTH, dealerhandcards);
playerside.add(BorderLayout.NORTH, playerhandcards);
playerside.add(BorderLayout.SOUTH, playerhandtitle);
dealerhandtitle.add(dealerhandtitletext);
dealerhandcards.add(dealerhandcardstext);
playerhandtitle.add(playerhandtitletext);
playerhandcards.add(playerhandcardstext);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
I am trying to stack my panels vertically to eventually make a blackjack game. Could someone please explain to me why the panels are stacking sideways rather than vertically? Thank you so much for the help.
