You describe what it does but You don't say what you want it to look like.

[PicklishDoorknob]

I want it to look like:
(heartpicture) Health (heartpicture) Health
(exppictre)Experience

(player's picture) (enemy's picture)
" "
" "

but it looks like
(heartpicture) Health (heartpicture) Health
(exppictre)Experience

Where is the definition for the FileRead class?

[PicklishDoorknob]

in another class file, i'll post it

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ----------

import java.io.*;

public class FileRead {
BufferedReader reader;
public FileRead(File f) {
try {
reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(f));
} catch (IOException e) {}
}

//Methods to read//

public String readLine() {
String line;
try {
line = reader.readLine();
} catch (IOException e) {
line = "";
}
return line;
}

//Other methods//

public void skip(int i) {
try {
reader.skip((long)i);
} catch (IOException e) {}
}
}

[Norm]

When I fixed it to compile and execute I get:

Quote

(heartpicture) Health (heartpicture) Health
(exppictre)Experience

(player's picture) (enemy's picture)

Your code as posted will not execute with the java command.
How do you execute it?

[PicklishDoorknob]

from a main class, i'll post it

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.*;


@SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class Main extends JFrame implements ActionListener{

new Main();

private Main() {
this.setTitle("Minigames");

this.setSize(500, 65);
this.setResizable(false);

JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel();
tictactoe = new JButton("Tic Tac Toe");
buttonPanel.add(tictactoe);
petbattle = new JButton("Pet Battling");
buttonPanel.add(petbattle);
this.add(buttonPanel);
tictactoe.addActionListener(this);
petbattle.addActionListener(this);
this.setVisible(true);
}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (e.getSource().equals(tictactoe)) {
TicTacToe.start();
} else if (e.getSource().equals(petbattle)) {
PetBattling.start();
}
}
}

When I changed the start() method to a main() method, the code produced what I said above.

You can call the main method almost the same way you are calling the start method. It only needs a String[] arg extra.
That would allow you to simplify the testing and only require one source file.

I did what you said and the same thing happened.

[Norm]

Does the image I posted look like what you get when you execute the code?

[PicklishDoorknob]

No, it looks like the same thing as the beginning.

[Norm]

Is what I posted what you want to see?
What is different between when I execute your code and when you execute it?
One difference could be that my code finds and loads the images and your code does not load the images.
Check that the names for the images are correct.
One way to test if the image filename is correct is to use the File class to test if the file exists:
File testing = new File(<THEFILENAMEHERE>);
System.out.println("THEFILENAMEHERE exists=" + testing.exists() + " path=" + testing.getPath()); //<<< check correct method names
