Ein Hersteller bietet nächstens ein Splitflap Board (Fallblatt-Anzeigesystem) an. Um die Funktion bereits zu simulieren wurde diese App entwickelt. Die App simuliert die reale Splitflap Funktion. Alle 132 Fallblätter werden einzeln angesteuert und geblättert bis das richtige Fallblatt ansteht. Für jedes zu wechselnde Fallblatt wird ein eigener Thread erzeugt.
