You're stopping the thread from running ever again unless you're restarting it constantly .. lol

 

No I am not? The thread processes at a 600ms tick, that "return" statement doesn't stop the thread from processing.

Really couldn't think of anything else to call it

I find this name to be quite descreptive for what it does. Other names such as "CycleScheduler" might give false impressions that it only calls every so often, like a ScheduledExecutorService.

return stops the whole loop which stops the thread, if you want me to take a picture of me testing this than I could go ahead.

So this is basically events with an extra integer to tell which cycle it is on. Thanks for your input Thomas however I disagree with what you're passing this as. 

Err what? http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/Phaser.html

this is already implemented in the standard library.
