More Threading Problems

Postby tttcowan » Fri Nov 12, 2010 9:01 pm

Hi, i've got the GL Renderer class below.

I'm having problems where I call the setDrawQueue method from the gamephysics thread which populates an array of drawables.... The problem is the screen is flickering... It's like the physics thread is jumping and preventing the gl thread from running... but i've synchronised it properly i think so i cant see why it would.... Does anyone have any ideas why it might be occuring? I'm still learning threading so i might of missed something.

Re: More Threading Problems

Postby tttcowan » Sat Nov 13, 2010 2:07 pm

Sorted this now if anybody is interested... Problem was the line
drawQueue = newDrawQueue;

Standard java stuff, both the glRender drawq and the game physics thread drawq was pointing at the same object.
