Abstract
Particular embodiments of a computing device may provide a main thread, a graphics thread to handle tasks related to rendering and presenting a graphical user interface (GUI), and an input thread to handle tasks related to processing input-related events. The GUI may comprise at least one animated component associated with a set of state variables. The main thread may handle tasks to generate a GUI hierarchy and provide copies of the GUI hierarchy to the input thread and the graphics thread. The input thread may handle tasks to initialize and update the state variables and provide information about the state variables to the graphics thread. The graphics thread may then handle tasks to update the GUI by rendering a first frame of the animation based on the state variables.
