My GUI is not working for my tic tac toe game...I would like to find out what i am doing wrong/what is going wrong and why this is not working the way it should? The game should have the nine boxes and for the tic tac toe game and then be able to click on the boxes to have X's and O's until someone wins.
that's pretty much my problem right now. As described in the question, the GUI doesn't work. It asks for player names and which letter you would like to be, X or O. And thats it. I am wondering why the GUI with the nine boxes don't show up.
here is my code:
