I wanted to create Conway’s Game of Life. I read the Java 2d API, but the Graphics class only provides methods to drawRect() and fillRect() on the paintComponent of a JPanel. I mean that the rectangles cannot be handled individually as objects i.e. so that i can check which one is on in relation to the ones in the vicinity.
So I wanted to ask how are squares to be made so that they can be handled individually and the grid be created dynamically?

    Create a Sqaure class with all properties required.
    Create a list of Square objects representing the board.
    In the draw method for the JPanel, iterate over your list of Square objects, drawing each one out, based on its properties.

    Keep your display code separate from your logic as much as possible – it’s nearly always a good idea.
