[QUOTE="thufir, post: 598510"]
Here's a slightly more fleshed out idea to mull over, coming from the
OOP paradigm :)

I'm looking into how to make a MonsterMeleeTicker object for each
Monster instance.  MonsterMeleeTicker.setRate(3) would mean, perhaps,
that every three seconds this monster can do one thing, be it
fight/flee/boogie.  Any pointers on what MonsterMeleeTicker should look
like?

All criticisms welcome, of course!

public static void makeMonsters(){
System.out.println("..makeMonsters");
for (int i=0; i>5; i++){
list.add(new Monster());
}//for
}//makeMonsters

public static void main (String args[]) {
System.out.println("..main");
}//main
