First question:
When you run code in an 'animate' loop, does the animate loop cache
all the updates until the code block finishes and then draw them to
the screen, or progressively draw then straight to the display
irrespective of screen refreshes and the likes? If not, could I
simulate it by drawing to an ImageBlock or something like that
instead? Mainly I'll just be layering images on top of each other
rapidly, and maybe drawing some text and simple vectors.
Second:
Can I play with Shoes in IRB or something like it?
