Someone has already done this kind of program here before (sorry I can't remember who) so you can try to search this forum for this.

Golly, I only noticed it just now: the OP of this thread and the OP of the 'marble'
thread are one and the same person. What happened to the solution I gave him
back then? Or are we beamed back in time?

Last time it was regarding something else...
n this time when i wanted to put images on the grid representing players and their scores..
It was totally different !

anyways i figured out how to do it..
so its fine .... in a way good i didnt get help ! :)

but now i am facing another difficulty :

Its a game on LAN so the no. of players will vary each time a new game is started.

Accordingly the no. of entries on the score card will change .
ex: if there are 3 players i have to show the marble tht he is using, his score and his name ( for each player )

what i have currently done is :
i am geeting d no. of players connected say N .....then making a for loop - running it N times to make a grid where i show the marble tht he is using, his score and his name ( for each player )

the problem is to show the images of the marble ....i thought of making an array of imageicons , but it doesnt seem to support

i'll show u d part of the code

 ImageIcon imgmarble[]={"player1.jpg","player2.jpg","player3.jpg","player4.jpg"};
		for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
		{
			
			lblcolor = new JLabel(imgmarble[i]);
			
			lblname = new JLabel("Player "+ (i+1));
			lblmoney = new JLabel("$300");
						
			lblname.setFont(font);
			lblmoney.setFont(font);
			
			pnlscore.add(lblcolor);
			pnlscore.add(lblname);
			pnlscore.add(lblmoney);
		}

and the kind of error i am getting is as follows :

C:\MainBoard1.j ava:57: incompatible types
found : java.lang.Strin g
required: javax.swing.Ima geIcon
ImageIcon imgmarble[]={"player1.jpg" ,"player2.jpg," player3.jpg","p layer4.jpg"};

how do i overcome it ???

Well a String isn't an ImageIcon; I agree with the compiler. Try to find a way to
load those ImageIcons given the Strings and put those in your array. You managed
to draw images somewhere previously and you must've created those ImageIcons
given some names so this shouldn't be a new problem to you.
