Resolved How can I put this Java program on a website?

[Runner94]

I wrote this program to play tic tac toe against the computer, and I would like to share it with my friends. Unfortunately, I don't know how to put it on a website. I have an account with 20m.com that I put some simple HTML tables and forms on before, but I only used basic javascripts for those pages. I've looked into applets, but I'm not sure if I should convert this into an applet and how I would begin to do so anyway. Thanks for your help!

If you want to run it online, you'll need to wrap it in an applet.
I'd start by wrapping it in a gui, and then wrap that into the applet. Command line apps don't really work well in web environment, although technically you can write the interception for the input on the applet, but you may as well make it look pretty first.

Split the classes up as well; the cli interface can be abandoned when you write the gui, but the logic is good for both.

[Runner94]

Thanks, I'll try to figure out GUI's and Applets using the Java tutorials on Oracle's website. If you have any other tutorial suggestions, please let me know. Also, what exactly do you mean by split up the classes, and what is the cli interface? Are these things I will probably learn about in the tutorials?

[Fou-Lu]

Oracle's swing tutorials don't typically do the most graceful approaches, but they are very excellent nonetheless.
You'll want to hit the swing tutorials up for frames, buttons and event handlers. Then you can move the applet since its super easy to wrap the swing with an applet.

For splitting, you have two classes there, the thinkiner and the runner. The runner there is your cli application running on a command line with command line input and output. The thinker simply processes what has to happen. Separating them means you can use it in either a command line interface or in a gui, without needing to change the logic at all. The interface simply changes.
