Figured out BoxLayout error - turns out it's a common one - I was setting it as layout for the frame, while it should have been added to the contentPane.  This didn't end up helping me with the layout in general though; the answer to that was that I was using the same component more than once (a blank JPanel with background color, used to hold space).  Each time I added the component to another one, it was removed from the last component to which it had been added.  Had to make blankTopRow1, blankTopRow2, etc. and finally got the layout working the way I'd intended.

Players are immersed in 3D positional audio from Vivox, (this is what Linden Labs and IBM use for their audio). Absent a headset they can still chat with a keyboard. In order to give players a good visual experience and natural character movement AFB uses Unreal Engine 3, perhaps the best physics engine available.

I took one of the practice exams for the tutorial I worked on earlier; I got more than a passing grade, but also found out there are lots of sections of the tutorial I haven't covered yet.  However, I now have enough backgound to work on a GUI project that I was assigned.  I've got the basic layout done, though I ran into some problems that were new to me.  Have worked around some of them and will solve the others later.  I don't want to get stalled at this point, so I've gone on to work on the code to get the GUI functional.  I'll do what I can with that, then ask for more information on the specs and take it from there.
