Thread: Terminating JFrame after a certain event.

Hi, in my game I added a new "board" whcih starts the game. However once I finish the game, I have a boolean varaible and I set it to true. How can I use that variable to dispose of the Jframe I was using?

I am doing something like this, however it is not working. Is there a better way than doing this? Like terminating the Thread it self?

final static Runnable game_main = new Runnable() {

public void run() {
JFrame baseLevel = new JFrame("Half Life 3 - Episode 1");
ImageIcon img = new ImageIcon("Pictures/Half-Life.png");
// Base Level

baseLevel.add(new Board());
baseLevel.setSize((HEIGHT - 3) * SCALE, WIDTH * SCALE);
baseLevel.setIconImage(img.getImage());
baseLevel.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
baseLevel.setVisible(true);
baseLevel.setResizable(false);

if(Board.game_end == true){
try {
Thread.sleep(1500);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.getMessage();
}

baseLevel.dispose();

}

}
};

Define "not working." Are you getting errors, nothing's happening, what? Post the details.

I get no errors, the programm keeps functioning normally

There's no reason to compare a boolean to true or false to return a boolean as in:

// result is a boolean
if ( result == true )

Simply use:
if ( result )
