Swing GUI play

Project type

Java Sorting, GUI, Swing API

This project is currently unfinished. I decided I wanted to try my hand at some GUI stuff. I built it off my sorting algorithm project. I spent about 20 hours researching and learning before realizing that NetBeans GUI editor actually uses Swing and that I could just design it in their GUI then copy the code directly with no errors. It felt like cheating but after a basic dive into the Swing API I was left overwhelmed with the scope. I left my test app, the tutorial app I downloaded to learn, as well as my NetBeans code copied direct from their GUI. Change the commented myFrame to switch between each GUI example.
