Man this is great code for me to learn from! Next could you do articles on how to do all the neat GUI stuff, like buttons, popup dialog boxes, etc.. and maybe even how to do TCP/IP connection handling stuff as well? Because I want to hopfully make my own little IRC Client Java Applet. :P

Very nice work Tailgunner. As a newbie to Java and wanting to write a game, this is a very helpful. Can't wait for the Multiplayer & GUI update. You get 5 globes from me. Keep up the good work!

Nice work!!! I've been writing java applets for quite sometime, but never got in to the game programming part yet. But with this i could actually learn more about it and be able to write some awesome game applets now. Thanks.

Really informative and an easy read, not like the JFC demos which were overwhelming. Good job, thanks for sharing. With these I could probably put my console Othello game on to an applet.
