I have a simple puzzle game. There is an image consisting of 16 tiles (randomly placed). Images are stored in an array and when game is launched they're added to main JPanel.

alt text

Game works in this way : Each image has atributes 'place' and 'number'. 'Place' is the current place on grid (either correct or not) and 'number' is the desired place for the image. When a user clicks image their 'place' and 'number' attributes are checked. If they match nothing happens. If not game checks if any image is currently in memory. If there is none, then this image's 'place' and 'number' are stored. If there is some image in memory, then the currently clicked image's 'plac'e is checked with stored image's 'number'. When they match - their places are exchanged. This part works properly. But now, I'm calling addComponent method on my JPanel with updated images and simply nothing happens. Shouldn't the new images be added to JPanel replacing the old ones ?

EDIT: Changed the code to use the answers, but still no luck. addComponents() gets updated images[] but doesn't revalidate them.

+2  A: 

You are adding all of your components again to your JPanel without actually removing any of them. In your addComponents() method, I would first call removeAll(). You might want to rename that method to highlight the side-effects, as it no longer would only be adding components. Perhaps, resetComponents() would be better.

After changing the components, you need to 'refresh' the Swing component by calling invalidate() or revalidate().

Rather than relying on precut image files, here's an example of slicing an existing image and shuffling the resulting pieces. It combines the helpful (+1) suggestions of both @Frederick and @akf.
