All Implemented Interfaces:

Runnable

public class GameHandler
extends Object
implements Runnable

Manages the gameplay logic for an individual turn. This class handles the communication between the two players, tracks whose turn it is, and monitors the number of sunken ships to determine the game outcome. Since multiple instances run in different threads, it uses static fields to maintain a shared game state.
