Conventions. Class names are generally "NameClass", where
Name indicates what it is, and Class indicates the Class
it derives from.

BootApplet.java. Our index.html has a login form, which calls
  a script login.cgi which generates the appropriate
  html code and applet tags (including the username and
  password typed into the index.html login form).

  This file BootApplet.java is thus the first code loaded
  into the browser. It's job is to load ProgressBar, and
  then to load all the other classes, showing progress
  at each one. Finally BootApplet calls Login to try to
  establish a connection to the server, login, and then create
  the Club. (This BootApplet code is tricky, as there
  are differences with class loading between Netscape and IE.)

ChatPanel.java. The main code to handle chat input and output,
  and the Chat menu.

Club.java. This is really the "main()" code for the entire
  client application. It builds the entire user interface,
  and has a few global variables shared by all modules.

Connection.java. Responsible for input and output to the
  server. There is one horrible bug somewhere in here
  which causes us to occassionally lose a move or chat!
  This is a classic two thread consumer/producer on one
  IO channel.

FormLayout.java. A minor class which makes it easier to
  use GridBagLayout to layout GUI components.

GameCanvas.java. This is responsible for drawing the
  game board. It is currently xiangqi specific, and needs
  to be broken into a portable module and a game specific
  module.

GamePanel.java. Higher level than GameCanvas, the GamePanel
  manages state, and also the setup of the GUI including
  the GameCanvas and the VCR buttons.

GameRule.java. A minor module which enforces the rules
  of xiangqi. We need to figure out a clean way to make
  this module replaceable for each game.

ImageButton.java. This manages our buttons (which have tooltips)
  such as our VCR buttons. I also stuck a few generic image
  loading methods in here.

Login.java. Make initial connection to the server. Called
  by BootApplet.

PlayerPanel.java. Manages the little panel of buttons for
  each player shown above/below the board. For now this
  is player name, time left, and rating (for now fixed at
  1200 for everyone-- see http://xiangqi.com/ratings.html
  for more info about plans). Note for small VGA screens,
  we display only the timer, and above chat vs above/below
  the GameCanvas, to give us more resolution for game pieces.

ProgressBar.java. Used by BootApplet to show progress in
  loading the initial classes.

RadioMenu.java. Minor class to manage exclusive choice
  menus, such as Options->Pieces-> menu which allow the
  user to choose pieces in Chinese, Graphic, etc.

SliderCanvas.java. Minor class to display the slider ball
  at top of client, allowing you to dynamically reallocate
  horizontal real estate between GamePanel and ChatPanel.

SponsorCanvas.java. Our ad server. Right now calls a CGI
  but I'm going to rewrite this to do its own logic so we
  can run on servers which do not have CGI setup (such
  as our us-game SPARC we are borrowing from our ISP).

Stickup.java. Semi-minor utility class to produce
  little popup windows to ask for input or show info.
  This code is somewhat of a hack. Bugs for MSIE
  in reading input from a dialog, e.g,. for Member->Profile
  command.

Tables.java. Semi-hack class to manage the Club menu
  commands to list the tables and allow someone to
  select which table they would like to join.
