I am doing a game and I need to reset the graphics back to its original picture once a new game begins, however when I click the new game button, everything else resets but the graphics do not even though I called repaint. I have included the code for my main game panel(the new game buttons etc) and the game logic code with paint graphics.
This is my main game panel code.
public class MainPanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener{
private JButton newGame, quit;
private JRadioButton onePlayer, twoPlayer;
private JComboBox diff;
private Hangman game = new Hangman();
public MainPanel (){
super();
//create menu panel
JPanel menuPanel = new JPanel();
menuPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Menu"));
menuPanel.setBackground(Color.orange);
menuPanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(150, 550));
//create game display panel
JPanel gamePanel = new JPanel();
gamePanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Game Display"));
gamePanel.setBackground(Color.white);
gamePanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 550));
//create game status panel
JPanel statusPanel = new JPanel();
statusPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Game Status"));
statusPanel.setBackground(Color.yellow);
statusPanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(180, 350));
//main panel bg color
setBackground(Color.black);
//Text labels for game status
JLabel difficulty = new JLabel("Difficulty: ");
JLabel tries = new JLabel("Tries Remaining: " + (6 - game.getNumGuesses()));
JLabel hint = new JLabel("Hint: " );
JLabel currLevel = new JLabel("Level: 1");
//create game menu buttons
newGame = new JButton("New Game");
quit = new JButton("Quit");
//new game button
newGame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100,20));
newGame.setToolTipText("Start New Game");
newGame.addActionListener(this);
//quit button
quit.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100,20));
quit.setToolTipText("Exit game");
quit.addActionListener(this);
//radio buttons for one/two player modes
onePlayer = new JRadioButton ("One Player", true);
twoPlayer = new JRadioButton ("Two Players");
onePlayer.addActionListener(this);
twoPlayer.addActionListener(this);
//group radio buttons
ButtonGroup group = new ButtonGroup();
group.add (onePlayer);
group.add (twoPlayer);
//combo box for difficulty settings
String[] level = {"Auto","Level 1", "Level 2", "Level 3"};
diff = new JComboBox (level);
diff.setSelectedIndex(0);
diff.addActionListener(this);
//menu panel, buttons, box layout
menuPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(menuPanel, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
menuPanel.add (Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension (0, 5)));
menuPanel.add (newGame);
menuPanel.add (Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension (0, 10)));
// menuPanel.add (difficulty);
// menuPanel.add (diff);
menuPanel.add (Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension (0, 10)));
menuPanel.add (onePlayer);
menuPanel.add (twoPlayer);
menuPanel.add (Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension (0, 10)));
menuPanel.add (quit);
menuPanel.add (Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension (0, 10)));
//game status panel with labels, box layout
statusPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(statusPanel, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
statusPanel.add (currLevel);
statusPanel.add (Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension (0, 5)));
statusPanel.add (hint);
statusPanel.add (Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension (0, 5)));
statusPanel.add (tries);
statusPanel.add (Box.createVerticalStrut(320));
//nest panels in main panel
gamePanel.add(game);
menuPanel.add(statusPanel);
add(menuPanel);
add(gamePanel);
game.repaint();
}
/*
* Action Listener for menu buttons.
* */
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if(e.getSource() == newGame){
game.resetGame();
game.repaint();
return;
}
if(e.getSource() == quit){
System.exit(1);
}
}
}Here is my game logic code with the paint graphics. My game buttons resets and works, I get a new random word too. Only thing that doesnt work is the graphics resetting to original.
public class Hangman extends JPanel implements ActionListener{
private boolean used[];
private String guessword;
private int numguesses;
private boolean finished;
private Button a[];
private boolean won;
private RandomWord rw = new RandomWord();
public Hangman(){
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(350, 350));
initgame();
repaint();
}
public int getNumGuesses(){
return numguesses;
}
/*
* initialise the game
* */
public void initgame() {
//initialise game variables
rw.newGame(); //generate random word
guessword = rw.getWord();//get the random word into word buffer
won = false;
finished = false;
numguesses = 0;
used = new boolean[26];
a = new Button[26];
StringBuffer buffer;
//create keyboard buttons
for (int i = 0; i <26; i++) {
buffer = new StringBuffer();
buffer.append((char)(i+65));
a[i] = new Button(buffer.toString());
a[i].addActionListener(this);
a[i].setEnabled(true);
add(a[i]);
}
}
