I am 'relatively' new to java creating a Hangman game in Java (Eclipse) using Swing. I have got all the components relating to the word done.
However I want that in the middle of the screen a Hangman image to be shown and when you get a guess wrong it updated with a different image (Of a more complete hangman).
However I am unsure of how to do this, whether I would need ImageIcon or just images and using paintComponent etc. Any Help appreciated, my code is below. I am unsure of how to do it in a efficient method that allows me to change it every time variable guess goes down. Please Suggest a method for doing this and the basics of how it might work.
public class Test extends JTextField {
private JFrame frame;
JTextField userInput;
private JTextField textField;
private String inputString;
private String total="";
private static char[] pass = Hangmangame.word.getPassword();
private static String passString = new String(pass);
private String []wordch = new String[passString.length()];
private String []astri = new String[passString.length()];
private int guess;
private boolean letter = false;
private JTextField txtGuesses;
private JPanel PicturePanel;
public static void start() {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
Test window = new Test();
window.frame.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
public Test() {
initialize();
}
public void initialize() {
for (int i = 0; i < passString.length(); i++) {
astri[i]="*";
wordch[i]=passString.substring(i, i+1);
total =total+ astri[i];
guess =10;
