Hi there,
I have a patch with two balls moving but the movement isn't smooth.....what can I do to optimize the refreshment of the images and get a smoother movement?
well, this depends: first: do you have a fast graphics card ? geforce should be ok. the example patch 07.texture/04.moveImages.pd is a good starting point. if the spheres move smoothly, try optimizing your patch if they don't, you might have no hw-acceleration. if the XServer (i guess osX is Xserver-based...) eats 99% this is surely the problem. try getting a good card with an appropriate driver.
if this patch is ok, you might want to set the refresh-rate of the gemwin with a message like "frame 30" (which gives you 30 fps)
and of course be sure, that you update your movement accordingly: a translation by 1 each second will naturally be more jerky than wee translations of 0.02 each 50ms.
