Time-control bugs
Problem
The time-control of the visualization does not seem to be correct.
For example, with the "simulation-speed" set to low values (1/4, 1/8, ...) the control loop can stop advancing the simulation.
Generally, the visualization does not handle the rendering time well in order to prioritize the simulation speed.
Fixes
A correct time-control loop should adapt the FPS to keep-up the desired simulation speed up to a certain minimum FPS limit.
Right now, the updates are handled in a java Timer callback. This is used in order to be in the GUI thread. However this makes the control loop logic hard. Ideally, the control logic should be as presented here (with fixed time-steps).
If the Async Simulation and Visualization are implemented again, the visualization control loop would be completely different since the simulation would not have to be updated in parallel.
