Simon Says Game in Java, I'm freaking out because I can't get any further

What are you stuck on? You can't just say "I'm stuck" and then wait for a reply ;)

[helpplease911]

I can't figure out how to show the sequence then let the user follow the sequence and verify he pressed the correct button. I don't know how to use the timer for the delay on the sequence.

[LB]

Have you tried a simpler game first, or is this required for some class?

[helpplease911]

yeah, it's my final project for my java class. the only thing standing between me and my associates degree. I've been up all night working on it and have to turn it in an hour. I'm in a tough situation right now so any help is appreciated.

[LB]

OK, do you have a general idea where in the code we should be looking?

Also, I hope you haven't been stuck like this since you first started months/weeks ago? If so I'm sorry you waited so long to ask for help.

[helpplease911]

Yeah, the sequencer action listener needs a timer to create a delay in order to allow the player enough time to see it. right now all it does is go straight to the last button in the sequence.

the other part is the button action listener, in that one i have to verify the users choice to check for accuracy.

[LB]

Unfortunately I haven't done much AWT or Swing, and I've only messed with JavaFX a little, so you probably know more than me. But based on some quick research would javax.swing.Timer be helpful to you?

I found this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7251625/how-to-create-a-delay-in-swing

[helpplease911]

Yes, the only problem is that I have to stick to material from the book. I wish I could use other material, I've found many useful examples online but none that I could use. I do appreciate you trying though.

[LB]

Hm, and the book doesn't cover delays? What about Thread.sleep()? I know it's pretty ugly but as a last resort...

[helpplease911]

It has a paragraph on delays lol, and I can't use the Thread function. I'm hoping with what i have i can get a passing grade all i need is a 75. I'm about to head to school to see if there is anyone there for tutoring that might be able to help. sadly the last time i went for help i knew more than the tutors about programming. my school is transitioning from a technical school to an actual college so they have some catching up to do.

[LB]

OK, good luck - I hope you can pass :\
