Hi everyone,

I've been looking into the Qt facilities available in J recently, and I read 
that 2D graphics are best done with gl2.

I hacked together a simple program that displays a ball which bounces around 
the isidraw container. Having never really done any graphics-related 
programming, I used the window driver's timer function to call sys_timer at 
regular intervals, which erases the previous circle, draws the new one, and 
updates speed and position global vars.
The advantage of using the wd timer is that I can create a button which calls 
"wd 'timer 0; pclose'" in order to exit the program in a clean fashion without 
having to break.

I suspect there is a better way to do this; how would the seasoned J 
programmers on this forum go about creating such an animation?

All help appreciated!
Louis

PS: I hardly have any web-related (html, css, php, etc.) programming skills, 
but any info about doing this in JHS is welcome as well.
