    Pause for n seconds

    I heard that there was a method that would pause for n seconds, regardless CPU speed. Is this true? If so, what is it?

    java.lang.Thread.sleep(t) should do it. It pauses a thread for t milliseconds. If you want to pause the whole program, and it's multithreaded, you'll have to sleep all of the called threads first then the main. Hope this helps!
