Hi guy would really appreciate it if somebody could tell me how to make this restart button work. This is what I have so far. I have put the restart button code in red and bold...

package Game;

/**
*
* @author Sasha
*/
public class Buttons extends javax.swing.JPanel {

private GameWorld world;
private int restart;


public Buttons() {
restart = 1;
world = new GameWorld();


}

public Buttons(GameWorld world) {
this.world = world;
initComponents();
}

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")


private void QuitButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
System.exit(0);
}

private void PauseButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
world.setPaused(true);
}

private void PlayButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
world.setPaused(false);
}

private void RestartButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
restart++;
world.start();
world = new GameWorld();

}


private javax.swing.JButton PauseButton;
private javax.swing.JButton PlayButton;
private javax.swing.JButton QuitButton;
private javax.swing.JButton RestartButton;




}

try makeing a restart method in your gameworld class

You should have a setupGame() method that gets called in your constructor, as well as when you choose to restart the game. Write the business logic before the GUI.

Do not try to run before you can walk.

You should be able to develope the presentation layer without the need of a fully functional business layer
It usually helps to have wireframes/mockups/use cases, and loosely couple the presentation and business layers together using interfaces
That way you can work on the two separately

Could you give me an example of what I could write, I am really stuck. Thanks
