    this is the main method class
    package eg.edu.guc.loa.gui;
     
    import eg.edu.guc.loa.engine.*;
    import java.awt.Color;
    import java.awt.GridLayout;
     
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    import javax.swing.JPanel;
     
    public class Frame1 {
    	public static void main(String[] args) {
    		JFrame f = new JFrame("Lines Of Action");
    		f.setVisible(true);
    		f.setSize(700, 700);
     
    		JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    		panel.setSize(700, 700);
     
    		f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    		BoardGui b = new BoardGui();
    		f.add(panel);
    		panel.add(b);
    	}
     
    }
     
    and this is the board class
     
    package eg.edu.guc.loa.gui;
     
    import javax.swing.JButton;
    import javax.swing.JLabel;
    import javax.swing.JPanel;
     
    import java.awt.Color;
    import java.awt.Graphics;
    import java.awt.Graphics2D;
    import java.awt.GridLayout;
    import java.awt.Polygon;
    import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
    import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
    import java.awt.geom.Ellipse2D;
    import java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D;
     
    @SuppressWarnings("serial")
    public class BoardGui extends JPanel {
    	JPanel[][] board;
     
    	public BoardGui() {
    		setLayout(new GridLayout(8, 8));
    		this.setVisible(true);
    		this.setSize(700, 700);
     
    		this.setBounds(0, 0, 700, 700);
    		board = new JPanel[8][8];
    		int count = 0;
    		for (int i = 0; i != 8; i++) {
    			for (int j = 0; j != 8; j++) {
    				if (count % 2 == 0) {
    					board[i][j].setBackground(Color.GREEN);
    				} else {
    					board[i][j].setBackground(Color.CYAN);
     
    				}
     
    			}
     
    		}
     
    	}
     
    	public static void main(String[] args) {
    		BoardGui b = new BoardGui();
    		b.show();
    	}
    }

    Both classes have a main() method. Which class do you use with the java command to execute the program?

    Do you get errors when executing the code? Copy the full text and pasted it here.

    No i don't get any errors it is executed and run perfectly but the problem is the frame opens is blank and has no panels (board) in it.
    and this is the full text pasted above and as i stated in it these are two separate classes.

    Firstly you need to initialize the individual JPanels. Secondly, you need to add them to something.
     
    board[i][j] = new JPanel();
    add(board[i][j];

    take a look at this,, it shows no errors but it doesn't run what is the reason ?
    and it runs correctly showing the board without any checkers(buttons) when i remove any add statements.

    public BoardGui() {

    setBounds(0, 0, 600, 600);
    setResizable(false);
    board = new JPanel[8][8];
    setLayout(new GridLayout(8, 8));
    for (int i = 0; i < board.length; i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j < board[i].length; j++) {
    board[i][j] = new JPanel();
    getContentPane().add(board[i][j]);
    }
    }

    int count = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i != board.length; i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j != board.length; j++) {

    if (count % 2 == 0) {
    board[i][j].setBackground(Color.CYAN);
    } else {
    board[i][j].setBackground(Color.DARK_GRAY);
    }

    count++;
    }
    count++;
    }
    ButtonGui b = new ButtonGui();
    for (int i = 0; i <= board.length; i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j <= board.length; j++) {
    board[i][j] = new JPanel();

    }
    }
    for (int i = 1; i < 7; i++) {

    board[0][i].add(b);
    board[7][i].add(b);
    }
    for (int i = 1; i < 7; i++) {
    board[i][0].add(b);
    board[i][7].add(b);
    }

    }

    Default Re: GUI part in lines of action

    You should combine your for loops, no need to go through the same procedure 3 times. Are you just adding buttons for the click listener? You should be getting compile time errors for trying to call getContentPane() JPanel doesn't have that method, and setResizable(). Those are both methods for the JFrame. Also, there is no reason to add a JPanel to the frame and then add the boardgui to the panel. Just add the boardgui (it is a JPanel) to the frame. And the method you are using will not create a checker board, just columns of the same color. What Ide are you using? It makes no sense that you are not getting errors. And you are adding the same button to all of the jpanels.

    --- Update ---

    JFrame is the easel, JPanel is the canvas, and Graphics are the paintbrush. You should use the graphics to paint, it will give you more control.

    i don't get any errors
    The code would give errors because this statement was missing:
    board[i][j] = new JPanel();
    It would cause a NullPointerException
