What is the recommended way to achieve smooth animation on Cocoa?
IMHO, "smooth" implies OpenGL.
I'm getting a bit of stutter in the drawing - particularly if I move
another
application window (the animation momentarily stops or slows).
Are you running Panther on ATI hardware? This particular case has
changed for the worse since Jaguar-- background timesharing
applications are paused while you drag a window. Go ahead, try it. Fire
up the iTunes visualizer or another continually animation application,
then drag a Finder window around.
AFAIK, the only way around this is to promote your drawing to a
realtime pthread. Like the Quicktime player.
