What does the waitCommand() do, "under the hood". i.e., how is it implemented?



Is there a "recommended" or "best practice" way to implement that approach?

I haven't looked at the wait command under the hood, but this is how I believe it works. I can look under the hood tonight at the source code and see if I'm correct.

public class WaitCommand extends Command {

     private double waitTime;

     public WaitCommand(double waitTime) {
          this.waitTime = waitTime;
     }

     public boolean isFinished() {
          return timeSinceInitialized >= waitTme;
     }
}

As to the second question. Something like this would work for a single command doing multiple things based on time.

public void execute() {
     if (timeSinceInitialized() < sometime) {
          do something;
     } else if(timeSinceInitialized() < some bigger time) {
          do something 2;
     } else {
          do something 3;
     }
}
