Hi all, my question to put in bluntly - is Basic4Android capable of displaying graphics that you see on likes of the grand theft auto game, with the same frame rates etc?.
Or am i wasting my time in even attempting any games development, should i just use Basic4Android to develop apps?.
Basic4android performance is similar to Java performance in most cases.
Creating a high end graphics game is a difficult task in any environment.
By design, the developer code runs in the main thread. Libraries code run in background threads (if the task requires it).
You will need to create a library for SurfaceView and either write the graphics code with a library using background threads or use Agraham's threading library.
No. But there are some features in the internal framework to help building multithreaded libraries (though you must have a good knowledge for Java and multithreading).
