java price is right game help

[tablet]

i have started to create a simple java game and at the moment i have done as much as i can possible at the moment the game builds with no errors. but it does nothing. what i want it to do is that the player enters a bid and if it is correct winner is displayed but if it is not the correct bid, higher or lower is displayed untill the correct bid is chosen. i also have a quit button that is displayed but it also does nothing i want it so that when it is clicked on the game closes. i am also in the process in addinding a reset button that will reset the game so that it can be played more than once instead of having to build and run the game every time. can anyone please help me.

the code of my game so far is displayed below it runs so if you want you can copy and past it and see what it does at the moment.
thanks nick

Please indent your code next time. Sorry if it was the website that formatted it.

As for your problem, no you're not going to see anything. You have no main() method, so how can it run? So far, all you got is a couple of methods, which neither of them are getting executed.

You're only making the gui .... no calculations for the bidding. You can compare the bidding numbers ... if it is equal to the required one ... display win ... and if it is smaller or larger display likewise. All if statements in one method can do your job. Try or post again if you fail.
