public class ThreadController
extends java.lang.Object

Controls the threads of the simulators. The jME SimplePhysicsGame creates one main thread for the update and render. This is comonly known as the OpenGL thread. This class takes care of the other threads in the simulation, one for the mission goals evaluator and one for each tank. Tank threads are taken care of to avoid system overload.
