Implementing a Game GUI

Question

The goal in mind is to take the text-based game and wrap it in a GUI (not really anything advanced, just a window). I know how JFrames works, so would this be as simple as creating the JFrame GUI and writing out the game using:

g.drawString(str, x, y);

The problems I'd see myself running into would be any user input. Receiving yes/no answers, setting/getting variables, or putting code -into- the JFrame.

Actually, can methods be called into "g.drawString();", or is there some sort of function to call a method into a JFrame? If so, this would answer my question.

Answer 1

Yes you can call function inside drawString()

The first parameter of drawString() is a String object, so a function returning String can be called inside drawString().

Example

public String foo(){
  String str ="";


  //modify string

  return str;
}

calling foo() inside drawString()

g.drawString(foo(),x,y);
