[java] Mindsweeper in Swing

There are other options, but for starters Swing is the best, yes. When you've read through the Java Tutorial series on java.sun.com, you should be pretty much ready to go to implement Minesweeper, though, since Minesweeper is a bunch of buttons and a two-dimensional array with the locations of the mines.

By the way, when the user clicks on of the buttons, you'll probably want the button to disappear and some icon to come up instead. Perhaps the setBorderPainted(boolean) and setIcon(Icon) methods could come in handy for that. I know Swing can be a little overwhelming for beginners, but don't worry, you'll get used to it.

There are actually many tutorials on the Web.. So just search google.

Anyways, here is a link (eventhough you can find much better):

You can take a look at mine if you want. It's not perfect, but it might give you some ideas.
