Multiple ReplaySokobanGame Running

[Joeventi]

I wanted to clarify some things about multithreading for the ReplaySokobanGame runnable.

Let A, B, C be instances of ReplaySokobanGame running in parallel.

Is the point to test for the similarity in their outcome? As in for the case of Round_Robin and a FREE_RACE with no wins, the final renders of A, B and C should be the same?

From #227 , it is mentioned that different ReplaySokobanGames will operate on different gameState instances so whatever A does to its instance of gameState shouldn't affect the other gameStates right?

For example, let the actions files be
Player 0 : L H J
Player 1 : L H J

What would the overall order of actions be?

For ROUND_ROBIN, the renders of each ReplaySokobanGame instance are the same.
But the overall message printed in the console is nondeterministic.

For example, let the actions files be
Player 0 : L H J
Player 1 : L H J

In ROUND_ROBIN, the order of actions in each ReplaySokobanGame instance will all be 0L, 1L, 0H, 1H, 0J, 1J.
But all three instances are printing in the same console and there are no concurrency control between them.
The overall console output could be A0L, A1L, B0L, B1L, ..., A0L, B0L, A1L, B1L, ... or others.

For FREE_RACE, the order is non-deterministic all the time.

In a way, could we say the three instances are in a similar mode to FREE_RACE in the input threads?

Yes, free race between ReplaySokobanGame instances.
