Java Question [Beginner Question]

Hello there. I'm supposed to create a Hangman Game for my computer class and the first step is to create the basic hangman picture (which I created). However I need to implement additional methods and I feel they're correct but they're just not working. Here it is.

Code:

---

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.JFrame;





class Person extends JPanel {
       
        private int triesLeft;
       
        public Person ()
        {
                triesLeft = 6;
                this.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() { public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
                        if (triesLeft > 0)
                                showNext();
                        else reset();
                        }});}
       
                       
               
        public int getNumLeft()
        {
                return triesLeft;
        }
       
        public void reset()
        {
                triesLeft = 6;
                repaint();
        }
        public void showNext()
        {
                triesLeft = triesLeft - 1;
        }
       
       
       
       

        public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
                super.paintComponent(g);
                this.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);
               
                if (triesLeft <1)
                {
                g.setColor(Color.BLUE);
                g.fillRect(350, 450, 60, 150);
                }
               
                if (triesLeft < 2)
                {
                g.setColor(new Color(190,81,215));
                g.fillRect(250, 450,60,150);
                }
               
                if (triesLeft < 3)
                {
                g.setColor(Color.CYAN);
                g.fillRect(275, 250, 120, 200);
                }
               
                if (triesLeft < 4)
                {
                g.setColor(new Color(176, 56, 84));
                g.fillRect(215, 300, 60, 40);
                }
               
                if (triesLeft < 5)
                {
                g.setColor(new Color(116, 56, 34));
                g.fillRect(395, 300, 60, 40);
                }
               
                if (triesLeft < 6)
                {
                g.setColor(new Color(11, 56, 176));
                g.fillOval(300, 179, 70, 70);
                }
               
               
        }
       
       
               
       

        public static void main(String[] args) {
       
        JFrame j = new JFrame("Person");
        j.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        Person p = new Person();
        j.add(p);
        j.setSize(800,800);
        j.setVisible(true);
       
               
        }
}

*I don't get any kind of error, it just shows my yellow background but when I click nothing shows up, did I implement the Mouse Listener incorrectly? Can anyone help?

Thanks!

That mouse listener looks awful. I mean really awful.

Will you rewrite it following some sane formatting conventions if I tell you what you forgot? Good. You forgot to repaint() after next(). Or next() could repaint(), like reset() does.

Hey pbrockway2 thanks for your help.
I did added the repaint () to the showNext method and it is working now. As for the mouse listener I don't really know how to make it look better, I began to program about a week ago so...sorry for the 'awful' looking code.

Read the first sentence of the API doc for the MouseAdapter API doc.
Listeners consist of one or more methods that will be called when a specific event occurs.
What specific events are your listener methods coded to handle?
