Thread: Chess Program

Guys,

I am developing a chess manager program(not an interactive game)!

I have the following classes in my model package

ChessPieces
ChessBoard contains Squares in an ArrayList and chessPieces in an ArrayList
Square

Also in my view package i have a chessboardview

Its a JPanel ill post the code below.
Is there a way the get all the 64 squares in my JPanel with ImageIcon?
CHESSBOARD

package model;
 
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.ArrayList;
 
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
 
public class ChessBoard {
 
    private Set<ChessPiece> chessPieces;
    private ArrayList<Square> squares;
    private static final String[] LOCATIONS = {
    "A1","B1","C1","D1","E1","F1","G1","H1",
    "A2","B2","C2","D2","E2","F2","G2","H2",
    "A3","B3","C3","D3","E3","F3","G3","H3",
    "A4","B4","C4","D4","E4","F4","G4","H4",
    "A5","B5","C5","D5","E5","F5","G5","H5",
    "A6","B6","C6","D6","E6","F6","G6","H6",
    "A7","B7","C7","D7","E7","F7","G7","H7",
    "A8","B8","C8","D8","E8","F8","G8","H8",
    };
 
    public ChessBoard(){ 
        squares = new ArrayList<Square>();
        addLocations();
        setSquareColors();
    }
 
    private void addLocations(){
        for(int i = 0; i < LOCATIONS.length; i++){
        	squares.add(new Square(LOCATIONS[i]));    
        }       
    }
 
    private void setSquareColors(){
    	for(int i = 0; i < LOCATIONS.length; i++){
    	    squares.get(i).setColor("BROWN");
    	}
    	for(int i = 1; i < LOCATIONS.length-1; i++){
    	    squares.get(i).setColor("WHITE");
    	}
    }
 
    public Square getSquare(int i){
        return squares.get(i);
    }
 
    public String getSquareColor(int i){
        return squares.get(i).getColor();
    }
 
    public ArrayList<Square> getAllSquares(){
    	return squares;
    }
 
    public void setSquareImage(int i, ImageIcon image){
    	getSquare(i).setImage(image);
    }
}
