Hi Romain,
Thanks for the info. I am actually using a SurfaceView now. I am
doing something like the following in my main game thread:
public void run() {
,,,,,
SurfaceHolder holder = ....
while( infinity! ;) )
{
update!
Canvas canvas = holder.lockCanvas();
myPaint(canvas);
holder.unlockCanvasAndPost(canvas);
}
}
inside myPaint I lay it on pretty good :) and i'm hoping my 15 fps on
emulator might be a little better on the device?
wondering how much farther OpenGL would take me...
thanks,
Ross
