I've asked this question before and didn't get an answer.
I'm currently designing a chessboard in Java, with some success. I need to add a background image from my PC for each square on the board, which i've currently written to alternate between blue and white.
What would i add to my code to change that?
My code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class chessboard extends JFrame implements MouseListener, MouseMotionListener
{
JLayeredPane layeredPane;
JPanel chessBoard;
JLabel chessPiece;
int xAdjustment;
int yAdjustment;
public chessboard(){
Dimension boardSize = new Dimension(600, 600);
// Use a Layered Pane for this this application
layeredPane = new JLayeredPane();
getContentPane().add(layeredPane);
layeredPane.setPreferredSize(boardSize);
layeredPane.addMouseListener(this);
layeredPane.addMouseMotionListener(this);
//Add a chess board to the Layered Pane
chessBoard = new JPanel();
layeredPane.add(chessBoard, JLayeredPane.DEFAULT_LAYER);
chessBoard.setLayout( new GridLayout(8, 8) );
chessBoard.setPreferredSize( boardSize );
chessBoard.setBounds(0, 0, boardSize.width, boardSize.height);
for (int i = 0; i < 64; i++) {
JPanel square = new JPanel( new BorderLayout() );
chessBoard.add( square );
int row = (i / 8) % 2;
if (row == 0)
square.setBackground( i % 2 == 0 ? Color.blue : Color.white );
else
square.setBackground( i % 2 == 0 ? Color.white : Color.blue );
}
JLabel piece = new JLabel( new ImageIcon("/Users/Downloads/pieces/Rook.jpg") );
JPanel panel = (JPanel)chessBoard.getComponent(0);
panel.add(piece);
piece = new JLabel(new ImageIcon("/Users/Downloads/pieces/Knight.jpg"));
panel = (JPanel)chessBoard.getComponent(1);
panel.add(piece);
