I'm trying to write the game of life. However, no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to add Cell components onto the frame with the buttons. They do appear if I make a new frame and add them, but even so, I can't seem to add more than one component.
So I how I add the components to the frame with all the stuff on it and how do I add multiple components? Thanks!
Here's my code:

panel.add(nextGen);

You have an issue with Layout Managers. Each time you add a component to the JFrame you overwrite what was already there. I'm not too familiar with Game of Life, but I don't think you want your cells to be JComponents. You can represent your board as an array of booleans, representing the alive and dead state, so your Visual constructor becomes:
public Visuals(Board b) {
super("The Game of Life");
this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
Container container = getContentPane(); // 1
JPanel panel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout()); // 2
nextGen = new JButton("Next Generation");
panel.add(nextGen);
nextGen.addActionListener(this);
random = new JButton("Random");
panel.add(random);
random.addActionListener(this);
container.add(panel); // 3
setSize(800, 700);
setVisible(true);
}
In your Board class you would represent the board as an array:
public class Board{
private boolean[][] board;
public Board(int x, int y) {
board = new boolean[x][y];
}
}
Then in the nextGeneration
method of your GameOfLife class, perform whatever calculations you're doing and set the true/false (or alive/dead) state of the positions on the Board.
Your Visuals.paint method then becomes something like:
public void paint(Graphics g) {
super.paint(g);
for (int i = 0, yShift = 80; i < b.getRow(); i++, yShift += 20) {
for (int j = 0, xShift = 30; j < b.getCol(); j++, xShift += 20) {
if (b.isAlive(i, j)) {
g.setColor(Color.red);
g.fillRect(xShift, yShift, 10, 10);
} else {
g.setColor(Color.white);
g.fillRect(xShift, yShift, 10, 10);
}
}
}
}
iaAlive
is just returning the value of the board array at that position:
public boolean isAlive(int i, int j) {
return board[i][j];
}
But like I say, I'm not familiar with the game.
