All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Runnable

public class GAPainter

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.lang.Runnable

Does the evolution, and displays the results, in a separate thread than the rest of the applet. One thread evolves both dishes, so their generations will be exactly in synch.

When evolution is paused, the GAPainter thread still exists, but is paused, waiting to be told to go. It starts paused.
