Android Game Development Notes (i)

Use of threads

Why do I use threads for Android development games?

Some non-static resources in the game (such as flowing water) need to constantly refresh the canvas (canvas) to achieve the dynamic effect, which requires a timed refresh (even if there is no action), then a thread is required to constantly refresh the canvas to achieve the dynamic effect.

How do I use threads?

Single threaded uses the thread class to instantiate the thread class directly to get a threading object (but this method can only implement one thread object, because Java cannot inherit much, but this is more resource-efficient for programs that require only one thread). Another way is to implement the Runnable interface, which can implement multiple inheritance.

Thread specific use:

In the game to implement the thread's Run () method, often write a dead loop, so that the game logic method is constantly executing to achieve dynamic results. But at the same time, we can set a flag to determine the end condition of the loop, thus making the loop more convenient to control.
