  1. POJava Hangman Game
    text
    copied!<p>Hi I've been making a hangman game in Java over ther holidays. Im almost done, but i'm having a few problems with repainting/updating the window.</p> <p>So when ever a life is lost, I'm removing the panel and then adding another one, but for some reason it keeps shifting to the left or sometimes to the right, which means some of my lines are n't being redrawn.</p> <p>edit: I'm still having trouble, I think I will just leave it now, unless anyone else has some other suggestions.</p> <pre><code>import java.awt.*;
