[Tutorial] Cycle Based Event Manager

Sorry about no comments in the code but I blanked when trying to write them :/

Code:

/*
 * CycleController
 *
 * By Fritz (Kataang)
 *
 * Controls all of the cycle events
 */
package server.cycle;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import server.Config;
import server.util.Misc;

public class CycleController implements Runnable {

	public static void add(double cyclesBetweenRunning, double cyclesToRun,
			Cycle cycle) {
		cycles.add(new CycleContainer(cyclesBetweenRunning, cyclesToRun, cycle));
	}

	public static void add(double cyclesToRun, Cycle cycle) {
		cycles.add(new CycleContainer(cyclesToRun, -1, cycle));
	}

	public void run() {
		while (true) {
			for (CycleContainer cycle : cycles) {
				try {
					if (cycle.lastRun + Config.SERVER_CYCLE
							* cycle.cyclesBetweenRunning() <= System
							.currentTimeMillis()
							&& cycle.cyclesToRun() > cycle.cyclesRan) {
						cycle.toDo();
						cycle.cyclesRan++;
					} else if (cycle.cyclesToRun() <= cycle.cyclesRan) {
						toRemove.add(cycle);
					}
				} catch (Exception e) {
					Misc.print("Error during cycle, stopping the cycle.");
				}
			}
			for (CycleContainer cycle : toRemove) {
				cycles.remove(cycle);
			}
			toRemove.clear();
		}
	}

	private static ArrayList<CycleContainer> cycles = new ArrayList<CycleContainer>();
	private ArrayList<CycleContainer> toRemove = new ArrayList<CycleContainer>();
}

Code:

/*
 * CycleContainer
 *
 * By Fritz (Kataang)
 *
 * Contains a cycle
 */
package server.cycle;

import server.util.Misc;

public class CycleContainer {

	public CycleContainer(double cyclesBetweenRunning, double cyclesToRun,
			Cycle cycle) {
		this.cycle = cycle;
		this.cyclesBetweenRunning = cyclesBetweenRunning;
		this.cyclesToRun = cyclesToRun;
		if (cyclesToRun > 0)
			cyclesRan = 0;
		lastRun = System.currentTimeMillis();
	}

	public void toDo() {
		this.lastRun = System.currentTimeMillis();
		cycle.toDo(this);
	}

	public void end(Cycle cycle) {
		cyclesRan = cyclesToRun;
	}

	public double lastRun() {
		return lastRun;
	}

	public double cyclesToRun() {
		return cyclesToRun;
	}

	public double cyclesBetweenRunning() {
		return cyclesBetweenRunning;
	}

	private Cycle cycle;
	private double cyclesToRun, cyclesBetweenRunning;
	public double cyclesRan = Double.MIN_VALUE, lastRun;
}

Code:

/*
 * Cycle
 *
 * By Fritz (Kataang)
 *
 * Interface for a cycle
 */
package server.cycle;

public interface Cycle {
	public void toDo(CycleContainer cycleContainer);
}

And in Server.java below

Code:

Connection.initialize();

add

Code:

new Thread(new CycleController()).start();

And in Config.java add

Code:

public static final double SERVER_CYCLE = 600;

There are 2 ways you can use this, one, you can run a cycle based event a certain number of times with an interval defined number of cycles between each execution OR you can run a cycle based event with an interval of a defined number of cycles.

Usage #1:

Code:

		CycleController.add(4, 10, new Cycle() {
			public void toDo(CycleContainer con) {
				sendMessage("Hey there!");
			}
		});

The 4 is the number of cycles between each execution and the 10 defines how many times it will execute the code inside public void toDo()

Code:

		CycleController.add(4, 10, new Cycle() {

Code:

			public void toDo(CycleContainer con) {
				sendMessage("Hey there!");
			}

Usage #2:

Code:

		CycleController.add(4, new Cycle() {
			public void toDo(CycleContainer con) {
				sendMessage("Hey there!");
			}
		});

The 4 is the number of cycles between each execution of the code inside toDo().

Code:

		CycleController.add(4, new Cycle() {

Code:

			public void toDo(CycleContainer con) {
				sendMessage("Hey there!");
			}

To end a cycle event, use this inside the toDo() void:

Code:

con.end();

You wrote this yourself ? I'm impressed

good job

thanked and repped

i don't really get what this does .. Oo

It's a manager.

@Terell.
You mean like you use this to control something or what?

on delta based servers the "sendMessage("hello world"); " would be "sM("hi"); "
