ChessSquarePanel

public class ChessSquarePanel
extends javax.swing.JPanel

A class that creates a sample graphical chess square panel using the Java Graphics capacity. This class keeps track of the background color of the current square and whether it has a Q on it. The class then creates and paints the square using that information. The class also offers the capability to change those fields. This class will be used to construct a chess board by the PictureYourSolution class. NOTE: This class was partially created using Mrs. Kelly's MyPanel class.
