    Default Tic Tac Toe GUI applet help!

    I am here because I don't understand how to proceed with the code I need to set up.
    I would like to know the best way to get this code running the easiest way possible.
    I am not just looking for a solved code but how and why the code was written the way it was.
    This program needs to be in the applet format, thank you all in advance!

    A few requirements are:

    • Use grid layout
    • add a random method to simulate another player
    • use X's and O's to display who moved where.
    • program tells you who wins.


    Edit:I updated the code in the top post for all new people who hasn't seen it yet.
    All I need now is to implement the computer simulation.

    import java.awt.Color;
    import java.awt.Graphics;

    				p.add(cells[i][j] = new Cell());
     
    		p.setBorder(new LineBorder(Color.red, 1));

    This first problem I see is that the code is not written with the methods an applet requires.
    See the tutorial:
    Lesson: Java Applets (The Java™ Tutorials > Deployment)
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    I guess I have no idea about this my professor didn't really go into the difference between an applet and an application window. I will read up on my book and try to figure out what all I need as well as read more on the link you posted thank you.


    Edit:I updated the code in the top post for all new people who hasn't seen it yet.
    All I need now is to implement the computer simulation.

    I went ahead and updated it, I'm still working on it but any suggestions would be good

    Edit: I created the computer but not sure how to implement it. Can anyone help me figure out how to fit it in there properly?

    Random comp = new Random();		
    		for (int i = 0; i < 99; i++) {
    			int compMoves = (int) comp.nextInt(10);
    		}

    I suggest that you do what Norm has already suggested: read the applet tutorial that he's already linked to, because you're still way off the mark. Don't just make up code. Read the tutorial first and then if anything in the tutorial confuses you, please come and ask us about it. Until you understand the information in the tutorial, I don't think we'll be able to help you much.
