Ok, ive already seen those examples, but where do you really make the call to the simulation function (collision detection, etc) where is the right spot to place it in the code? i believe it's not in the rendering function which is called everytime by the animator.
i've pointed out a possible solution with a thread, but there may be others like for example with a timertask perhaps?
i mean where do you guys put all the code related to the game in the example above of the wikipedia? in the example above, the in the display function shouldnt be there because as i see it, it belongs to the simulation function, that's what im specifically asking. We cant place all the gameupdate/logic/etc into the display function just because it's called everytime by the animator. It must be separated.
And finally,
how can you control the timing/FPS of your app then?

i'm sorry but i still see this very much confusing. I ll try to explain myself better

in waht concerns the use of  jogl, i''ll stick to it instead of the other one, for now.

let me ask the question again more precisely

in J2me for example we have:


how do you translate the same loop and its componenes to jogl?

hello everybody, im new to jogl and i intend to port a C opengl app to jogl.

here comes my first question:

ive seen jogl examples in the opengl-pack quite simple and they all seem to apply the simulation function y the rendering func as this is called everytime by the Animator.

What i want is to know the right way to implement de main loop and call the simulation func at a given rate as i do in C.

In another java app i did, i used a thread to implement this and the sim and rendering func were called inside the while loop in the thread.

¿how do you guys do this? ¿could you post something like a template? ¿were would you call the whole simulation func in your game and how can you control the FPS?

thanks in advance
