If you are using eclipse, create new folder after a right click on the project, then go to the Piece folder on your desktop, copy all the pictures and paste it in the folder you created in eclipse [assuming the name of the folder is pieces] :
dafaultPieceImagePath = "pieces/";

Hi i was wondering how you made your pawns move. i have every piece moving except my pawns. REALLY need your help asap

[yasindante]

Thank you for the series! I saw that you responded to a comment from a few days ago and decided to try my luck. I was wondering what TILE_PANEL_DIMENSION did exactly? I tried changing the values passed in and didn't really see a difference in tile size when starting the game up. I was hoping to add a feature where the Piece images resized along with the board whenever I adjusted the window. My first idea was scaling them relative to the tile dimensions but I think I might be missing some info. Either way, I'm looking forward to finishing the rest of the series!

The exception says cant read the file....please help me out

Hey! I have been enjoying following along with the series and I haven’t had any problems until now. I can’t seem to move any pieces. I’ve checked a few things and everything else is working except for that.

im currently working on a similar course project but i have already a method called assemble pieces in the engine but i dont know how to call it in the gui so can you tell me please how to do it? thanks in advance

[fujaksss]

for some reason "board" is null so it throws me a nullpointer exception, any ideas on how to fix it? only happens when i invoke "assignTilePieceIcon" method. other than that it generates the board(without pieces) as its supposed to. it just cant print out a board with pieces on it

Idk if the comment section is still active, but I'm having a problem where I actually have to resize the border in order for the tiles and the pieces to render. When I comment out the assignTilePieceIcon function, i can view the tiles without having to resize the border window. Is the some order to the Java rendering pipeline or something?

i have trouble on reading input file . What should i do

[kevinkebarra]

Hi Amir,
I've been following your videos. Everything has worked so far, however in this tutorial I am unable to get the pieces to show up. I get this error when I run:

Exception in thread "main"
at

at <5 internal calls>

I can run it if I take out the assignTilePieceIcon method and its variables, which would only bring up the chessboard in its frame with menubar.

The error "at leads to
' in the assignTilePieceIcon method.

The error "at leads to in the constructor of the TilePanel class.

Any ideas on what could be wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

and I don't understand why because I followed all of your steps even downloading the pieces from your github.

Hi Amir,
Can you help, i don't know where i can download the pieces.
I tried to download the simple gifs form wikipedia and rename to .gif,
then i followed your video. But i got the error.

Hello, my code works but sadly I can figure out why there's only one horizontal line of tiles (so 8 in total). The Pieces are shown right. Only the background is wrong... Any help would be great!!! Stuck on this for a month and about to give up...
Heres my GitHub:
