Hello again. I've only included two of the 13 programs for this game.
The main program projectJS.java is giving me compile errors and the
other program containing
private BoardPanel boardPanel;
private WinningsPanel winningsPanel;
public GameFrame(String name, BoardPanel boardPanel, WinningsPanel
winningsPanel)

is connected to it somehow but i don't understand how to fix the errors
here are the two programs and here are the compile errors.
//GameFrame.java
package chapter14;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import static chapter14.projectJS.*;

class GameFrame implements ActionListener
{
private static final int GAP = 20, WIDTH = 450, HEIGHT = 380;
private JFrame frame;
private JMenuItem newGameItem = new JMenuItem("New Game"),
shuffleItem = new JMenuItem("Shuffle"),
exitItem = new JMenuItem("Exit");
private BoardPanel boardPanel;
private WinningsPanel winningsPanel;

public GameFrame(String name, BoardPanel boardPanel,
WinningsPanel winningsPanel)
{
JMenu gameMenu = new JMenu("Game");
JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();;

this.boardPanel = boardPanel;
this.winningsPanel = winningsPanel;
frame = new JFrame(name);
frame.setSize(HEIGHT, WIDTH);
frame.getContentPane().setLayout(
new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER, GAP, GAP));
frame.getContentPane().setBackground(darkGreen);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOS E);
gameMenu.add(newGameItem);
gameMenu.add(shuffleItem);
gameMenu.add(exitItem);
menuBar.add(gameMenu);
newGameItem.addActionListener(this);
shuffleItem.addActionListener(this);
exitItem.addActionListener(this);
frame.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
frame.setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
frame.add(boardPanel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
frame.add(winningsPanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
{
Object object = event.getSource();

if (object == newGameItem)
{
boardPanel.shuffle();
winningsPanel.init();
frame.repaint();
}
else if (object == shuffleItem)
{
boardPanel.shuffle();
frame.repaint();
}
else if (object == exitItem)
frame.setVisible(false);
}
public void display()
{
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
//projectJS.java

package chapter14;

import java.awt.*;

public class projectJS
{
public static final Color darkGreen = new Color(0, 128, 0),
lightYellow = new Color(255, 255, 128);
public static WinningsPanel winningsPanel =
new WinningsPanel();
public static BoardPanel boardPanel =
new BoardPanel();;

public static void main(String[] args)
{
GameFrame frame = new GameFrame("Card Game of War",
boardPanel, winningsPanel);

frame.display();
}
}

Here are the compile errors and i don't know how to fix them since i
copied the program right out of the book Learning Java Through
Applications. If anyone can help i would appreciate it Judith Spurlock

You have a reading problem? Once again, read the error messages.

Read the book, too. All these words there in the book are trying to
tell you something. Like, for example, how to compile the code.

Your .java files contain the statement `package chapter14;`. This means
that your .java files should be in a subfolder named `chapter14`.

Your compiler command is `C:\>javac projectJS.java`. This suggests that
your .java files are not in a subfolder. Is this true?

What do you see on screen when you type these commands
dir *.java
cd
echo %CLASSPATH%

<please insert answers here>

She got answers elsewhere. She had that question posted "hundreds" of
times in separate threads, so to maximize the time people had to wasted
to answer her.

i know that it goes in a subfolder the program works. I just didn't
understand that i went in a subfolder. Sorry to waste everyones time.
