Do you mean Kernel.sleep? What you'll need to do is use `start` and
`stop` on the animation to pause it. Or there is a method called
`toggle` which will switch between paused and un-paused whenever
it's used.
Shoes.app do
@shape = oval 10, 10, 30, 30
@anim = animate do |i|
@shape.displace(0, (Math.sin(i) * 6).to_i)
end
flow :margin_top => 70 do
button "Pause" do
@anim.toggle
end
end
end
_why
