Queen Moves game

[Tom Paterson]

Hi all,
I was wondering if anybody could help me, I am looking to build an applet of the 'QueenJourney' game, the description of the game is here. This is a MIDlet version wheras I want an applet version. It is basically a chess board with only the Queen on the board, and the user has to cover each of the 64 squares within a maximum of 14 moves. I would be obliged if anyone can help me on this subject.
Below is what I have up till now, it does not have the functionality that I want yet:

import java.applet.Applet ;
import java.applet.* ;
import java.awt.* ;
import java.awt.event.* ;
import javax.swing.* ;
 
public class QueenMoves extends Applet implements MouseListener ,
    MouseMotionListener
{
//Declare variables
  private Point queen , mouse ;
  private int select ;
  private Image q ;
  
//Initialise everything
  public void init()
  {
    this.addMouseMotionListener( this ) ;
    this.addMouseListener( this ) ;
    select = 0 ;
    queen = new Point( 34 , 350 ) ;
    mouse = new Point() ;
    q = getImage( getDocumentBase() , "q.gif" ) ;
  }
  
//Call drawbox and fillbox and draw gif for queen
  public void paint( Graphics g )
  {
    drawBox( g ) ;
    fillbox( g ) ;
    g.drawImage( q , queen.x - 17 , queen.y - 20 , this ) ;
    g.drawString( "Use the mouse to move the queen around" , 78 , 385 ) ;
  }
  
//Get cursor movement
  public void mouseDragged( MouseEvent e )
  {
    mouse = e.getPoint() ;
// continuously change the coordinates of the selected counter
    if ( select == 1 )
      queen = mouse ;
    repaint() ;
  }
  
// required for the interface
  public void mouseMoved( MouseEvent e )
  {}
  
//select a counter using the mouse
  public void mousePressed( MouseEvent e )
  {
    mouse = e.getPoint() ;
// this could be done a lot more neatly using an array
    if ( mouse.x > queen.x - 25 && 
        mouse.x < queen.x + 5 &&
        mouse.y > queen.y - 25 && 
        mouse.y < queen.y + 5 ) 
      select = 1 ;
  }
  
// required for the interface
  public void mouseClicked( MouseEvent event )
  {}
  
  public void mouseReleased( MouseEvent event )
  {}
  
  public void mouseEntered( MouseEvent event )
  {}
  
  public void mouseExited( MouseEvent event )
  {}
  
//Draw grid
  public void drawBox( Graphics g )
  {
    for ( int i = 10 ; i < = 370 ; i += 45 )
    {
      g.drawLine( i , 10 , i , 370 ) ;
      g.drawLine( 10 , i , 370 , i ) ;
    }
  }
  
  /*Fill odd black squares - this could be done
   easier another way (array) but I don't know how */
  public void fillbox( Graphics g )
  {
    for ( int i = 10 ; i < = 325 ; i += 90 )
    {
      g.setColor( Color.black ) ;
      g.fillRect( i , 10 , 45 , 45 ) ;
      g.fillRect( 10 , i , 45 , 45 ) ;
      g.fillRect( i + 45 , 55 , 45 , 45 ) ;
      g.fillRect( i + 45 , 145 , 45 , 45 ) ;
      g.fillRect( i + 45 , 235 , 45 , 45 ) ;
      g.fillRect( i + 45 , 325 , 45 , 45 ) ;
      g.fillRect( 100 , 190 , 45 , 45 ) ;
      g.fillRect( 100 , 280 , 45 , 45 ) ;
      g.fillRect( 190 , 100 , 45 , 45 ) ;
      g.fillRect( 100 , 100 , 45 , 45 ) ;
      g.fillRect( 190 , 190 , 45 , 45 ) ;
      g.fillRect( 280 , 280 , 45 , 45 ) ;
      g.fillRect( 280 , 100 , 45 , 45 ) ;
      g.fillRect( 190 , 280 , 45 , 45 ) ;
      g.fillRect( 280 , 190 , 45 , 45 ) ;
    }
  }
}

I am sure I should be using arrays but am not familiar with their use
Thanks for any help,
Tom

What exactly do you have questions about. I am willing to help, but I don't have time to go through each line of code. If you can give me some idea of where you are running into problems, I can give you more helpful advice as well.

Tom, your link does not work.

I need to show,the moves that the Queen has taken (I guess by identifying where the Queen is on the board)this would allow me to build in exeptions and errors. Would I be better creating the board with arrays and if so how
Thanks again
Tom
