Thread Groups

When a number of threads are to be handled in the same manner, they can be put in a thread group.

ThreadGroup tg = new ThreadGroup(“my sprites”);

There’s a Thread constructor that takes a group as an arg.

public Thread(ThreadGroup g,

Runnable target, String name);

There are many methods for ThreadGroup objects such as getMaxPriority, destroy, etc.

ThreadGroups can contain ThreadGroups. Trees of ThreadGroups are therefore possible.
