    Default Sliding puzzle Restart button(same exact game)

    I am writing a sliding game program for my java class and i have it pretty much down. i have a new game button that works perfectly, and a score box that works the way i want it... i had to put in a restart button(restarts the same exact game). i have the button in the game but all it does is restart the score and doesnt mix it up.. so if i hit a button to move it, then hit the restart button, all it does is reset the score but keeps the same blocks in the place i put them.. i need help with that part of the code as i have searched everywhere, the internet and my java programming book(which is pretty much useless for almost anything i do in the class)... i have the Handler programs in there too so im all out of ideas... heres what i have...

    import java.applet.*;
    import java.awt.*;
     
    public class newbutton extends Applet
    {
    Button b[] = new Button[16];
    HandleGameButton me;

    HandleRestartGame we;
    rcolor c = new rcolor(16);
    Font f1, f2;
    int blankPosition = 15;
    Panel panel1,panel2;
    int score = 0;
    Label scoreLabel, setLabel;
