Next, paint the white squares: one in the first row, two in the second, and

three in the third. Notice that the white squares are offset by one pixel

because the column and row variables (

firstRow

,

secondRow

, etc.) reference

the gray squares. These squares provide the 3D effect.

//first row

draw3dSquare(g, firstColumn+1, thirdRow+1);

//second row

draw3dSquare(g, secondColumn+1, secondRow+1);

draw3dSquare(g, secondColumn+1, thirdRow+1);

//third row

draw3dSquare(g, thirdColumn+1, firstRow+1);

draw3dSquare(g, thirdColumn+1, secondRow+1);

draw3dSquare(g, thirdColumn+1, thirdRow+1);

Finally, paint the gray squares on top of the white squares:

//first row

drawSquare(g, firstColumn, thirdRow);

//second row

drawSquare(g, secondColumn, secondRow);

drawSquare(g, secondColumn, thirdRow);

//third row

drawSquare(g, thirdColumn, firstRow);

drawSquare(g, thirdColumn, secondRow);

drawSquare(g, thirdColumn, thirdRow);
