It will need to be multithreaded because the user
input will occur on a separate thread than the main
program thread.
The easiest way I know of to do this is to create a
lock object and then use the Object wait and notify
methods like in the code snippets below.
Tim
class MonopolyGame
{
private Object lockObject = new Object();
void mainLoop()
{
......
if(isHuman(currentPlayer))
{
// wait for them to click 'roll'
synchronized(lockObject)
{
try
{
lockObject.wait(timeout);
}
catch(InterruptedException)
{
// this means you should clean up and
// prepare to exit
}
........
}
(rest of method)
}
public void mouseEvent(Event)
{
if(isUserClicksRoll(event))
{
synchronized(lockObject)
{
lockObject.notify();
}
}
}
}
}
