I am a new coder. I am having trouble adding a start and stop button for this piece of example code that i am working off. I'm sure i have to mess with with Thread.sleep(10);
in the game class. This code starts the game when the program is run. is there a way i could add start button to start the thread. I have created j button already. Thanks.
