Game Loop

the run method is executed while calling the thread function. the loop has been build using variables like delta, drawInterval,and using the system current time functions. the update and repaint method should run every 1/60 of the second to get the frame rate of 60.The update method deals with logic behind the pieces and the movement related to them. The repaint method deals with the graphics related with the game java AWT paintComponent is used to draw the board as well as pieces.All the code are run under this methods appropriately.

  public void run() {
        double drawInterval = 1000000000/FPS;
        double delta = 0;
        long lastTime = System.nanoTime();
        long currentTime;


        while(gameThread != null){
            currentTime = System.nanoTime();

            delta += (currentTime - lastTime)/drawInterval;
            lastTime = currentTime;
            if(delta >= 1) {
                update();
                repaint();

                delta--;
            }
        }
    }
