I created a skeleton for making our game in another thread (still too
much pull on the mainthread as per the logcat in eclipse). SO far I have
a heli moving diagonally and it update/renders every second or close to
it. I left comments to help you understand what I did (copy someone else
basically). I left two links on trello under the useful links card on
the right, showing you the link where I got the code from. I tried to
strip out what we didnt need at the moment to make it bare basic and
easiest to understand.
