Simultaneous Animations

[owls]

What is the best way of going about creating multiple animations that happen at the same time but are triggered by different events. I have only used threads to create multiple animations in applets where the animations are triggered off the same event. I've tried using multiple threads but that seems to have only one thread run at a time.

I am trying to code a simple game that has one character throwing an object at a moving character. The throw is triggered off a key press and the other character moves consistently throughout the game.

This is way to big a subject to solve in a forum context. You need to look for a book that covers Java Game development etc.

Hi owls:

"I've tried using multiple threads but that seems to have only one thread run at a time"

In fact, it have only one thread running at a time, at least you have more than one processor. But, if the Thread priorities are well managed, you shouldn't note the difference. But, anyway, you must be a little bit more specific about your needs, a piece of code could help. One thing is to have several animations running at the same time, and anoter different are the events that trigger them, it should be worked apart.
