How to make Timer countdown along with progress bar?
How can I make it so that the progress bar slowly goes down with the time limit?
class GamePanel extends JPanel implements MouseListener, ActionListener
{
private JButton quit;
private JButton q;
private Font loadFont;
public GamePanel()
{
setBackground(Color.blue); // sets background color
this.setLayout(null);
quit = new JButton("Quit");
quit.addActionListener(this);
quit.setBounds(550, 700, 100, 30);
this.add(quit);
q = new JButton("Questions");
q.addActionListener(this);
q.setBounds(100, 100, 120, 30);
this.add(q);
loadFont = new Font("Serif", Font.PLAIN, 30);
}

Sorry, I still could not find the motivation to actually read your code, but just threw together this example based on the question. See if it gives you some ideas.
Note that it is an SSCCE and uses just 40 lines of code in all.
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class CountDownProgressBar {
Timer timer;
JProgressBar progressBar;
CountDownProgressBar() {
progressBar = new JProgressBar(JProgressBar.VERTICAL, 0, 10);
progressBar.setValue(10);
ActionListener listener = new ActionListener() {
int counter = 10;
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
counter--;
progressBar.setValue(counter);
if (counter<1) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Kaboom!");
timer.stop();
}
}
};
timer = new Timer(1000, listener);
timer.start();
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, progressBar);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Runnable() {
public void run() {
CountDownProgressBar cdpb = new CountDownProgressBar();
}
});
}
}
