I've tried every solution I could find here and on forums but I cannot close the wind JFrame no matter what I do and I have no idea why. I need to dispose of the JFrame and launch a different one by creating a WarioWareGUI object.
Right now, the best I seem to be able to do is stop the ball from moving and just leave the old JFrame in the background, but that's not quite good enough. I need the wind JFrame to close
I've tried infinitely disposing, I've tried setting the JFrame as public static and initializing it as an object of BallGame so that I can dispose from anywhere. I've tried simply disposing it immediately after creating it. Nothing seems to get rid of it.
I even tried just setting the ball speed to 0 and making the frame invisible but wind.setVisible(false); doesn't do anything either.

I expect calling wind.dispose to shut down the GUI but it won't, no matter where I put it or how I declare the JFrame. I can't just make it invisible either.
The code right now is just where it was when I gave up, I'm not trying to just dispose of it right away of course, but once I can get it to just dispose once successfully, hopefully I can get it to do that at the right time.
