public class Observer

extends java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject

implements ObserverIntf

The Observer acts as a connection between the Referee and the Game classes whenever the Referee needs to send information to inform the Game of a change in the situation. The Observer implements the ObserverIntf class that is required by RMI because these methods need to be called remotely during a multi player game.
