public int gameStatus()

Returns one of the three constants above telling what the status of the game is.

public Container getGameStatusPanel(int loc)

This method returns a GUI container that shows extra information in your
game. For example, this might be where you display the score to the user.
I recommend that you use a JPanel here, but it should work with any form
of java.awt.Container. This region can be interactive as well if it has
elements in it that handle events. In some games this might be where you
can select options of things like that. It should return null if nothing
is to be displayed. The argument says which area this panel is for. It
should be one of the constants such as NORTH_PANEL;

Parameters:

loc This integer specifies which side of the display the panel is being requested for.

Returns: The panel that should go at that location or null if none.
