一种自动生成JButton的方法？

Question

I am currently a java newbie of sorts writing a program that is, essentially, a board game, almost identical to checkers. Unfortunately, this also means I need one hundred JButtons for the checkerboard. I know there is a way to have automatically generated JButtons, I've seen it done. I have no idea how I would go about this, though. Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

If you want to generate a board game, you should use a GridLayout which will help you a lot positioning your buttons with minimal effort. Something like this:

public JPanel createBoardGame()
    JPanel boardGame = new JPanel(new GridLayout(numberOfRows,numberOfColumns));
    for (int i=0; i<numberOfRows*numberOfColumns; i++) {
        boardGame.add(new JButton(""));
    }
}

Here is a nice article that should help you a lot implementing your needs.
