Class ViableEntityManager

  • public class ViableEntityManager
extends java.lang.Object
    Keeps track of "viable entities", i.e. parts of the program for which it makes sense to have them living on their own. Viable entities so far are : - the game server part with it's subthreads, - the user Client with MasterBoard (e.g. as remote client) - the web server client The reason is, earlier each of them may at some point do System.exit(), even if one would have liked to keep one other part open. (for example, 3 local players -- if one was dead and you closed that MasterBoard, the whole application did exit. Now, each of those tells the ViableEntityManager "I'm done", and if the last one says so, THEN the System.exit() is actually executed. Or rather, nowadays, the main() thread can go on, come up with a menu again or something.
