Class GameServer

java.lang.Object
  heurgame.GameServer

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Runnable

public class GameServer

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.lang.Runnable

Author:

David Kaplin The role of the GameServer is to abstract away the plumbing that is necessary for a socket mediated mode of communication. The GameServer also acts as a Facade hiding the interface of Game and Referee from some parts of the user interface. Hopefully this class will remove the nead for more plumbing.
