Re: Dashboard effect in Java application

That reminds me- you are sleeping in an application that is having difficulty performing its operations fast enough:

            Thread.sleep(dt);
            repaint();

Whereas you can do something like:

       	start_time = System.currentTimeMillis();

       	paint current frame to buffer
		(so there's no req't to recalculate if paint
		 is called between frames)

	paint(getGraphics());

	sleep_time = start_time + dt - System.currentTimeMillis();

	if (sleep_time > 0) {
	  Thread.sleep(sleep_time);
	}

so you only sleep if you can render the frames fast enough, and then for an amount that lets you update at the frame rate, not some unknown period.
