Chapter 21: Threads and Starting the Live Drawing App
In this chapter, we will get started on our next app. This app will be a kid's drawing app where the user can draw on the screen with their finger. This drawing app will be slightly different, however. The lines that the user draws will comprise particle systems that explode into thousands of pieces. We will call the project Live Drawing.
To achieve this, we will do the following:
- Get started with the Live Drawing app
- Learn about real-time interaction, sometimes called a game loop
- Learn about threads
- Code a real-time system ready to draw with in the next chapter
Let's get started.
