Hi, I'm programming Risk, which is a board game, in Java as my homework. My problem is that when computer plays the game, the program halts for 2 to 5 seconds and show only the final result. What I want to see is that the program shows every single moves of computer play. So, what I tried to do is using interrupt and run methods like Thread.currentThread().interrupt() and Thread.currentThread().run(). This method showed the progress of the computer play, but generates many exceptions. And, I think the cause of the exceptions is that the program runs asynchronously. What should I do?

So, what I tried to do is using interrupt and run methods like Thread.currentThread().interrupt() That will stop the current thread from sleeping, or from waiting for some I/O operation to complete. I do not see how it could help here. Quote: and Thread.currentThread().run(). This method showed the progress of the computer play, but generates many exceptions. And, I think the cause of the exceptions is that the program runs asynchronously. It is not clear what thread you are calling this from, so I cannot really tell what it is doing. But I cannot imagine any circumstances where that would be a reasonable thing to do. Obviously, the current thread must be running, so trying to "run" it is not a good thing. But also, the correct way to start a thread is to call its start() method, not its run() method. The run() method is the method that contains the code that a thread runs. Quote: What should I do?
