Class MainWindow

java.lang.Object

de.smits_net.games.framework.board.MainWindow

public class MainWindow
extends java.lang.Object

Main Window of the game. The games will subclass it to produce the main window. They pass their specialized Board and the title of the main window using the constructor to this class.

Additionally the subclasses of this class contain the main method and they start the game thread. A typical example of a subclass of this class may look like this (assuming that the specialized board is called MyBoard.

 import java.awt.EventQueue;
 import de.smits_net.games.framework.board.MainWindow;

 public class GameMain extends MainWindow {

     public GameMain() {
         // pass data to parent constructor and create out board
         super("Title of a cool game", new MyBoard());
     }

     public static void main(String[] args) {
         // start the game thread
         EventQueue.invokeLater(GameMain::new);
     }
 }
