lovely code, how would one produce a circular button which can be sliced into a number of cuts like in a pizza, and each piece assigned to as a different button ?
Instead of subclassing JButton for each of your slices, I’d probably create a single component that did different things depending on where the user clicked.
Either way, at the core, you’re probably going to need to use trigonometry to draw your pizza buttons, and to detect which slice the mouse is on when it clicks.
