I'm making an application that simulates a simple game. It is necessary to limit the players, so they have 60 seconds to enter their answers. I have a problem if they don't type anything and the time limit expires, then it's necessary to close the Scanner (System.in) that I opened so that they could enter their answers, and give 0 points to one who did not respond in time. If anyone has a solution for me, please help me.

  • I've seen it, does not work for me. Input stream remain blocked so it cant be done another entry from the users that I need when game continous. I tried with threads but cant interrupt a thread which performs input and it continues to run in the background, even i call Thread.interrupt()... – user1670000 Sep 17 '12 at 21:11
