Setting Icons and checking for matches

[Norflok669]

I'm having some trouble figuring out how to set and check for matches in my program. It is a 4x4 grid matching game. Any help is appreciated.



public class MemoryGUI extends JPanel

{

JPanel icons;
JPanel score;
//instance variables
private JPanel symbolPanel, turnPanel;
private IconHolder icons;
private JLabel turnLabel;
private JTextField turnField;


public MemoryGUI()
{

JPanel p = new JPanel("*");
pane.add(p);
p.setLayout(new GridLayout(4,4));
for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++)
JButton button = icons.buttonAtIndex(i);
p.add(score);
score.addMouseListener(this);



// instantiate all above components
JPanel symbolPanel = new JPanel();
JPanel turnPanel = new JPanel();
turnLabel = new JLabel("Turns left: ");
turnField = new JTextField(4);

// set button sizes and listeners
icons.buttonAtIndex(0).setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100, 100));
for(int i = 0; i < 16; i++){
icons.buttonAtIndex(i).addActionListener(new FlipListener());
}
// set panel layouts
this.setLayout(new BoxLayout(this, BOXLAYOUT.Y_AXIS));
symbolPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(4, 4));

// you may set display of buttons using Font class and setFont methods, use for loop as done above for setting font

b.setFont(new Font("sansserif", Font.BOLD, 32));



// add components to the panel with the symbol buttons
for(int i = 0; i < 16; i++){
symbolPanel.add(icons.buttonAtIndex(i));
}





// add components to panel with turn information
turnPanel.add(turnLabel);
turnPanel.add(turnField);

this.add(symbolPanel);
this.add(turnPanel);

//set the text of turnField (JTextField)
textField = new JTextField(20);
}


private class FlipListener implements ActionListener{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event){
// determine which button has been pressed

for(int i = 0; i < 16; i++){
icons.buttonAtIndex(i).addActionListener(new FlipListener(i));
}


// if this is first icon, set as first


//otherwise, set as second and check for match



// (within else) check for match, if so reset flips and set both to complete



// if not matched, reduce turns by 1 and unflip
if(false)
{
i--;

}
// refresh turns and end if turns is 0




}
}
}
