Axel,
Looks like you launched lots of animate cycles. And you needed only one.
Shoes.app do
x=0
y=20
destination = 100
speed = 5
@o=oval(x,y,5)
animate(24) do
x+=speed unless x==destination
@o.move(x,y)
end
end
simple-anim-shapes.rb in samples folder is a guide.
_why,
I did not manage to find in manual description of .move method and a way to
change styles of graphic elements already drawn. Any hint on the latter?
Regards,
Pavel Sokolov
