    Default Re: this is part of the coding for a game and its not working so please help.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java]
    YOUR CODE GOES HERE
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

    How are you debugging the code?
    counter is not changing back to 1
    Add some println() statements to show the values of the variables that control when that should happen.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Default this is part of the coding for a game and its not working so please help.it may seem long but it isnt, most of it is the same cause i have to create many buttons with the same function.

    the problem is inside the for loop and a variable called counter is supposed to turn back to 1 but doesnt so please check it out.
