Feature Request: Stop button

Open rorySomething opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Make the play button toggle stopping and starting the rendering to make the code more easily visible with bright background animations. Black empty framebuffer when stopped. Reach goal: Have the play button icon switch to a stop button icon while the shader is running.

Sounds good! That would be another Run Mode I think 🤔 Right now, the play button is more like an update-now button because the shader is running all the time (or in another activity in which case you wouldn't see the play button).

I tried this but came to the conclusion that it's almost the same workflow as using "Run in extra activity" or "Run as a new task".

What advantage would a start/stop button have over these Run Modes?
