Animation through FX and Java
With reference to what I have said in my earlier posting, I have made little progress over doing animations using FX syntax. I have tried this with another app before actually changing the PingPong code. Here also, I initially started with a Swing Timer but later replaced it with the FX's animation syntax - '[..] dur xx linear' and I have created a trigger for the above property that keeps changing at regular intervals.

Here is the script that use the Swing Timer
I will have to tune the performance since the app slows down when I add more balls. Perhaps, I need to see if I can use different threads one for each ball, to animate it or I will have to increase the delta by which the balls move.

It is pretty simple indeed but one has to get the values right inside the FX animation syntax to get notification at correct intervals - especially the distribution of range of values over the given duration.
