Hi,
Running on WinNT, I'm having trouble getting reliable real-time animation to
run *smoothly*.
The core of the problem is that I am seeing quantization in the time values
returned from the methods in 'View' (getLastFrameDuration() etc) and also
from System.currentTimeMillis(). i.e. these timer values never seem to go up
by less than 10ms at a time.
I am assuming that this is a limitation of the underlying PC clock.
Does anyone know of any standard techniques for handling this problem.
I tried a 'smoothing' based on averaging the times for the previous n
frames and extrapolating but with unsatisfactory results.
If I could accurately know the current time (to say around 1ms accuracy)
I could solve my problems.
Thanks
Rob
