Java threads and synchronization

So the loop solution is...

Code:

        while((!player1.hasWon) && (!player2.hasWon)){
            
        }

?

 none of the threads are asleep

You say you want to wake a thread but none of the threads are asleep.

player1Thread and player2Thread should be asleep when they start. At least that's what I can see from running it (nothing happens because they wait for an InterruptedException).

CardGame:

Code:

        player1Thread.start();
        player2Thread.start();

Both threads start.

Player:

Code:

    public void run() {
        this.go();
    }
    
    public synchronized void go(){
        try{
            wait();
        }
        catch(InterruptedException ie){ie.printStackTrace();}
        // everything else
        notifyAll();
    }

When the threads start, run() is called, which calls go(). The first bit of go calls wait(), which does nothing until an InterruptedException is thrown, waking the player up and starting their turn.

At the moment, when I run the code, nothing happens after the threads are started. Both are waiting to be woken up. What wakes them up, I don't know.

I can't call notify or notifyAll from main, which means:

• Dealer should be a thread and somehow notify player1 when it's done dealing?
  
• notify should happen somewhere in the Player thread?
  
• go() shouldn't wait and instead, the draw() and discard() methods in CardDeck should be synchronized instead?
