you can write your own custominterpolator. write a class that extends
Interpolator with
wakeupOnElapsedFrame
or
wakeupOnElapsedTime
in the processStimulus you can then increment the position, etc. how you
want it. It will be called every x frames/milliseconds depending how you
initialized your wakeup conditions.
Another method would be to write a new class that extends *thread* and do
the increment in the body of the run() method.
is there actually any difference in performance using the Interpolator or a
Thread???
