So the problem I have is under the method gameplay(). When we ( I did not write this code myself so I may have some trouble answering certain things ) tried to update the ImageComponent to a different image, refresh the JPanel to show the two new Images, delay the code 1 second, and the show the next image, it did not work. When I run the code, what heppens is that the screen freezes for the intended delay, and then what should show up in the last iteration of the while loop appears. Basically, it skips from the starting 2 images to the last 2. Even when I took out repaint(); and revalidate(); it did the same thing, so I believe it is not refreshing at all. What should I do?
