Game GUI

[Andy Rayner]

hello i have been trying to layout this game from a picture



i have had an attempt and my gui has turned out like this lol



I have used a border layout and in the center i have put a gridlayout for each indivdual dice object, using a loop i have entered 24 dice into a 6,4 grid.
in the east i have put my text boxes which will hold the number of similar dice in each row, but they are squashed up.i have used a gridlayout in here which is just 4 rows. and on the south i have used a flowlayout.

Anyone got any tips?
Regards
Andy
