public class ChessClockControl extends AbstractConfigurable implements CommandEncoder, GameComponent, UniqueIdManager.Identifyable, ComponentDescription
CHESS CLOCK CONTROLLER for VASSAL. This Module-level component manages a set of one or more ChessClock clocks. It creates a master "Chess Clocks" button on the Module's toolbar. Clicking the button shows/hides the clocks themselves, when no clocks are running, or stops all clocks if one is running. The Chess Clock Control component also contains the configurable elements that specify how the clocks are to be displayed.
