Class NetworkView

java.lang.Object
  java.lang.Thread
      checkers.view.NetworkView

All Implemented Interfaces:

CheckersConstants, java.lang.Runnable, java.util.Observer

public class NetworkView
extends java.lang.Thread
implements java.util.Observer, CheckersConstants

Observes model, and sends any changes over the network. When a change is received, it imitates the GUI by generating the same ActionEvents as if the change happened locally. This makes networking transparent to the controller.
