Run a timer on the background thread to update the location of the ball on the main thread.

NSTimer in the documentation should get you going.

do you have an exemple of how to use NSTimer?
for the moment, my code is like that:
while(true){
NSLog(@"coucou");
CGPoint c = controller.ball.center;
c.y--;
[controller setBallCoordonnees:c];
[NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:time];
}

contoller is on my main thread, setBallCoordonnee just change center of my ball, how can i refresh the screen ;.. that is the question

To redraw a view use:

[view setNeedsDisplay];
