I’m going to have to take a step back. I’ve got the XML Parser and the Challanged/Challenging Screens coded but integrating and then testing them is turning out to be a real pain. I feel I’ve lost my way slightly and I’m going to have to take stock.

I’m still in unknown territory. I’ve got look at classes which manage the communication between the two different clients. This is where I’m lost. I don’t know how to integrate these classes into the system. The classes I’m using are based on a chat program but it’s showing up my inexperience with Java.

The sample code is uses hashtables which I’ve got no idea what they are or how they work. I have to clarify what I’m doing with threads to make sure I’ve got the algorithm right. I thought that once I’d got the xml working then that would be it. How wrong I was. Think I might integrate the graphics back into line while I try and learn
