Question

I am stuck on probably an easy problem, but I really can’t find why it isn’t working. I am trying to increase mijnScore with 1 each time the method gets called. But somehow mijnScore goes back to 0 after the method is done.

int mijnScore = 0;
...
public void updateUI() {
    System.out.println("updateUI");
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {  
            ikWin = true;

            while(ikWin) {
                mijnScore++;
                System.out.println("mijnScore" + mijnScore);
                Scoresp1.setText(mijnScore + "");
                ikWin = false;
                positie = 0;
            }
        }
    });
}

Solved

Making the variable static solved my problem.

static int mijnScore = 0;

I dont know wheather you are calling with different objects or same.Just as a guess Make the variable mijnScore static then it may be ok.
