so here is my main class. My main problem that I can’t wrap my head around is if I do the gui in a seperate class how do I make it do things. I know I would use actionlistener but if all that is another class even if I pass the data in on creation of the button lets say once the button is pressed it would just give an error because the object is out of scoop. Looking at the above does that mean I would create the action listeners and buttons in the class that would use them and just have a method in my gui class that would add them and remove them from the panel. Sorry if large code dump I’m not sure whats consided too large and needed for pastebin. Thank-you for your help everyone
