Java Graphics2D DrawString

Hey guys I have a little issue here. I have a panel where I am drawing a string. This is a game so I keep redrawing the score in order to update it. However when I draw it again it is drawn on top of the previous score so it looked all garbled up. Any ideas how to fix this?

comp2d.drawString(GetScore(Score),ScoreX,ScoreY);

when you call this comand: comp2d.drawString(GetScore(Score),ScoreX,ScoreY);

You should call this : comp2d.dispose()

because all operations with comp2d will be applied after .dispose()

You need to redraw the background, before you paint the string. If this is an ordinary panel, you can redraw the background by a call to super.paintComponent(g) in your own paintComponent; however, since this is a game, I am going to guess that you have some other background you need to draw. Also, I would suggest that you use a JLabel, in lieu of using thedrawString command, if possible.

You can try to use repaint() after comp2d.drawString().
