I am trying to make a matching/memory game where the user selects two buttons with images behind them and if they match them the buttons are shown, but if they get it wrong the buttons are reset.
This is wha tI have so far: http://pastebin.com/xwWQm79S
I have the buttons set up, but I have no idea how to put images behind them.
Please help

Look into ImageButton or Image.

private ImageIcon[] ImageArray;

public void setImages() {
for(int i=1;i<19;i++){
ImageArray[i] = new ImageIcon("Pictures/"+i+".jpg");
gameButton[i].setIcon(ImageArray[i]);
}
}

I tried to add this to set images for my buttons, but I keep getting this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at MatchingGame.setImages(MatchingGame.java:65)
at MatchingGame.<init>(MatchingGame.java:26)
at MatchingGame.main(MatchingGame.java:89)


Can someone please help me?

initialize ImageArray and gameButton

What do you mean?

explain what you think this line does.

edit: actually f that too lazy to wait for response

maybe:



edit: I guess since it is matching you wouldn't need 36 elements...but you get the idea
