Observer Pattern in Java

The document describes an implementation of the Observer design pattern with Observer and Subject interfaces. The Observer interface defines an update method that observers must implement. The Subject interface defines register, unregister, and notifyObserver methods to manage observer subscriptions. The code shows a Boss class that observes a GameSetting subject, overriding update. GameSetting implements Subject, managing an observer list and notifying observers each game loop iteration.
