i nid a simple games puzzle program using a java

plss help me

Are you serious?

why don`y you try and we will help you if you got some problems.

Featured games is for games that are selected my moderators (read the board rules). Also this question is incredibly vague and I’m tempted to just move it to the chitchat monster, so please provide your specific problem and what you’re using.

What?

No… I can’t do this. I mean, it is obvious you are trying to learn games programming, but there is no way you’ll get it like this.

It looks like there is a bug somewhere in your code, that you didn’t post up yet… can you post some source code so we can look at it at least?

First time or not, you should have the common sense to know to post what you’re trying to do, what the problem is, and what the code related to the problem is.

You are trying to add an ImageIcon that does not exist to a JFrame. This will not work.

this is a copy of totorial puzzle program how can i run it…

    ImageIcon sid = new ImageIcon(Puzzle.class.getResource("icesid.jpg"));
    source = sid.getImage();

    width = sid.getIconWidth();
    height = sid.getIconHeight();


    add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension(0, 5)), BorderLayout.NORTH);    
    add(centerPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);


    for ( int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {

                centerPanel.add(label);
            } else {

                button.addActionListener(this);

                        (width/3)+1, height/4)));

            }
        }
    }

    setSize(325, 275);
    setTitle("Puzzle");
    setResizable(false);
    setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
    setVisible(true);
}


public static void main(String[] args) {

    new Puzzle();

}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    JButton button = (JButton) e.getSource();
    Dimension size = button.getSize();

    int labelX = label.getX();
    int labelY = label.getY();
    int buttonX = button.getX();
    int buttonY = button.getY();
    int buttonPosX = buttonX / size.width;
    int buttonPosY = buttonY / size.height;
    int buttonIndex = pos[buttonPosY][buttonPosX];



    if (labelX == buttonX && (labelY - buttonY) == size.height ) {

         int labelIndex = buttonIndex + 3;

         centerPanel.remove(buttonIndex);
         centerPanel.add(label, buttonIndex);
         centerPanel.add(button,labelIndex);
         centerPanel.validate();
    }

    if (labelX == buttonX && (labelY - buttonY) == -size.height ) {

         int labelIndex = buttonIndex - 3;
         centerPanel.remove(labelIndex);
         centerPanel.add(button,labelIndex);
         centerPanel.add(label, buttonIndex);
         centerPanel.validate();
    }

    if (labelY == buttonY && (labelX - buttonX) == size.width ) {

         int labelIndex = buttonIndex + 1;

         centerPanel.remove(buttonIndex);
         centerPanel.add(label, buttonIndex);
         centerPanel.add(button,labelIndex);
         centerPanel.validate();
    }

    if (labelY == buttonY && (labelX - buttonX) == -size.width ) {

         int labelIndex = buttonIndex - 1;

         centerPanel.remove(buttonIndex);
         centerPanel.add(label, labelIndex);
         centerPanel.add(button,labelIndex);
         centerPanel.validate();
    }
}

}

I found this tutorial very useful when i started out learning java: http://zetcode.com/lang/java/

[icode]Puzzle.class.getResource(“icesid.jpg”)[/icode] must be returning null.

You need an image named icesid.jpg (e.g. this one) in the project’s folder.
