Thread: How would I approach this?

I'm making a game and it has a few endings and I have it so that when the endings are reached it is a game over. The thing is how would one approach in somehow delaying the game over by a few seconds so the person can at least read the ending I wrote out for them. Of course this is in Java, I wish it was in Python.......

I'm a real novice when it comes to this.... I want to use Thread.wait() but how would I implement it?

I did what you recommended and it seems good but I'm having a slight problem now:

try {
    		new GameOver(ending1);
 
	    	if (gameA == 2 && gameB == 0) {
		    	g.setColor(Color.black);
				g.drawString("You touched the body and it started", (x1 + 25), (y1 + 40));
				g.drawString("to moan and it was a zombie!", (x1 + 25), (y1 + 60));
				g.drawString("It bit you and now your one,", (x1 + 25), (y1 + 80));
				g.drawString("great job", (x1 + 25), (y1 + 100));
				g.setColor(Color.red);
				g.drawString("THE END", (x1 + 100), (y1 + 120));
				try {
					Thread.sleep(10000);
					ending1 = 1;
					} //Tells me to add Finally right here, where the error message is.
	    		}
	    	}
				catch (InterruptedException e) {
				} 
 
    		catch (GameOverException1 e) {
    			g.setColor(Color.red);
    			g.drawString("NO PRESSING BUTTONS, GAME OVER", 60, 100);
    		}

The other parts of the code are of no worries, they're good. The part that I want to sleep for a while is the action of ending1 = 1, which would initiate the exception class and cause the "NO PRESSING BUTTONS..." to come out but sadly I am probably doing something wrong, it won't run when I have it like this.
