It is great that you've learned to use the code-tags. But as many have tried in various ways to tell you, big chunks of code are hard to read and difficult for anyone but the original coder to understand, especially without comments.

When you're posting large chunks of code while writing a message, in the editor you'll find a link just below the big white text-field, where it says: "Got extraordinary long code dumps? Use our pastebin to keep your thread readable. (link opens in new tab)". If you click the link, a new pane/window will open, and you can paste your code in there. Then you click "Post Code", and you get a link which you can use in your message.

Large chunks of code tend to make people think "Gah, I'm not reading through that!", but if you post a nice, detailed description of your problem, and supply a Pastebin-link, then people interested in helping with the proposed problem, can sit back and look at just the code, and in a separate window, making it much easier to write a reply, without scrolling back and forth.

Hope this helps. As to your problem, it seems you've got plenty of good advice. Just reset the fields associated with your game, and restructure it to use an init-method. It'll make your life much easier.

Please help !!! I had just posted "the whole code" on Pastabin

[ra4king]

Where?

[ReBirth]

Even not listed on forum's Lasted Pastebin. Sure use pastebin.java-gaming.org? not the real pastebin.com?

[ra4king]

I don't know but Pasta-bin sounds delicious right now

[ganaschka]

postes on pastebin.java-gaming.org

[ReBirth]

Yeah but we need the link. It will appear after you posted the code.

[Jimmt]

Second page, it's not off topic, and we still haven't seen the code

Just need "more" time to adapt

OK everyone ! here is the link: http://pastebin.java-gaming.org/6368a201b27
Pestart JBar named "menu" doesnt work underneath the ActionEvent !

I think you should ditch the idea to restore all state.
Try to encapsulate your game in an own class so that you can create a game Object and connect it to the View(make your game class a Component and add it to a Panel).
When you achieved this you can just throw a game away and create a new one.

Your action method should be placed on JMenuItem rather JMenu. Declare one of that and put it to your "restart" JMenu.

OK everyone ! here is the link: http://pastebin.java-gaming.org/6368a201b27

Here's some advice:

1   2

private String iconNames[] = {"D:/images/1.png", "D:/images/2.png", "D:/images/3.png", "D:/images/4.png"                                     , "D:/images/5.png", "D:/images/6.png"};

Tip #1: never refer to files by their full path (i.e. including the D: part). If you do this, then the game will not work when you install it somewhere else.

1	if(e.getSource() == menu)

Tip #2: I'm not 100% sure but I think you should add a JMenuItem to the JMenu (e.g. a menu "Game" with an option "Restart") for this to work. I'm don't think JMenu generates action events. Read for example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9862165/jmenu-actionlistener

1   2

th = new Thread(this);         th.start();

This is a question, rather: why are you using a thread here? It looks risky.

Your action method should be placed on JMenuItem rather JMenu. Declare one of that and put it to your "restart" JMenu.

This. I kinda overlooked your reply. 

[ReBirth]

This. I kinda overlooked your reply. 

Shall punish you! Actually that's his main prob.

[ganaschka]

private String iconNames[] = {"D:/images/1.png", "D:/images/2.png", "D:/images/3.png", "D:/images/4.png"t
                                    , "D:/images/5.png", "D:/images/6.png"};
I know but this works well  when it turns out to jar file, otherwise how could be restore images ? how about thread ? what else could be done by running time without using thread ? if there is another way to adapt this solution, how. I need to learn more about it

[ReBirth]

Don't be strayed by that, focus on your prob. If it's not broke no need to fix.

private String iconNames[] = {"D:/images/1.png", "D:/images/2.png", "D:/images/3.png", "D:/images/4.png"t
                                    , "D:/images/5.png", "D:/images/6.png"};

Agreed with ReBirth, don't let me confuse you  The timer thing I'm not sure about myself, sorry for bringing that up. The images you can just put in the same (or a sub)directory of the jar file, e.g.:

game.jar
images/1.png
images/2.png
...

Then you can load the images using:

1   2

private String iconNames[] = {"images/1.png", "images/2.png", "images/3.png", "images/4.png"                                     , "images/5.png", "images/6.png"};

Even when your game is on someone else's computer, e.g. one that does not have D: But maybe you knew that already. 

[Jimmt]

Hm. I always used an array of File objects, and then used getURI().

[masteryoom]

@ganaschka, why don't you create a variable that holds either one or two ( or TRUE or FALSE) like so:

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10

bool myrestart; myrestart = true // if button activates myrestart = false; while (myrestart = false){ //set all variable to 0 myrestart = true; } //go back to code mycode()

And that only took me about 10 seconds   
(please check that the code syntax is correct )
