    Hi Travis, great videos! Quick question. If you’re designing a program, and let’s say, you have multiple characters and scenery effects. Is it possible to only use SurfaceView for a call to draw, but all of the Rect. set up and builds could be done in each character’s, or scene effect’s, own class file? And called from SurfaceView?

    Thanks.
