I made a simple slider puzzle app.
You can see it here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slider.puzzle
This is the first time I used AcceleratedSurface in an app. I have been using GameView.
I am now making a second app using the same code geared towards children.
I am almost done...
My question is:
I used a timer to invalidate and redraw the canvas on the screen.
It looks like this is the wrong approach.
I have been testing for a few days now until I just noticed I never enabled the timer sub I was using to refresh the AcceleratedSurface but the game still works and redraws as expected.
Looking through the tutorial and examples provided by Infomatix here
http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/lib-accelerated-surface.27462/
For the life of me I cannot see where and when the surface is actually refreshed.
It looks as though this is implied and done automatically.
Can I pause and restart it?
