You got me thinking, bad thing, so.. how about this, using my original of doing the plotting in blocks of 41, but storing the result in a 2D array, then using the Math Split and Insert to move chunks around, into 1D arrays for plotting, smooth animation and 350mS refresh :-) So close to 3Hz update...

Hi Volhout, Yes I like the way you've got the colours working with a limited set. :-) You could of course, make use of the framebuffer on the VGA, which means you can get rid of all the array saving and copying, which only saves a surprisingly small amount of time, but it does mean you can increase the number of pixies to 2600, for approx the same refresh rate, I've reduced the pixi size as well, because I thought it looked a bit better, your choice, also if you want the faster update, or more points? just change the loop step back to 5 amazingly, there is almost no difference between drawing a small box 1x1 or 2x2 or even 10x10 rather than using the pixel command? Regards, Kevin.

PS. just noticed that a subset of the pixels were being coloured black, so I've forced them to be mid green. Edited 2022-11-22 23:32 by Bleep

lcd but needed to remove mode 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxrZFLxrB18 I prefered the first one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hnGAgYMIv0 Edited 2022-11-28 03:37 by stanleyella

Hi Peter, I've just found something interesting and unexpected. I've installed your latest release, to have a play with the Pack and Unpack functions. I decided to try packing the colour information in this program, so it only uses half the space, just because. In doing this, so basically replacing the Math Slice with a Memory pack and unpack, the program now runs in 344mS instead of 350mS as in the listing above, for the LCD, of the 22nd Nov. This seems counter intuitive, to me, as I would suspect there is a little bit more work involved in the unpacking, than a straight Slice, whatever the reason, it's magically faster. I tested both versions on the same release, just in case some new compiler optimisation had occurred. I also tried doing this on my VGA version and that sped up from 377mS to 359mS? Interesting. Regards, Kevin.

As a result of the speed improvement I found by using the new Pack and Unpack functions, I've gone the whole hog and compressed all the 2D arrays, the bubble universe animation now runs at 319mS per iteration (better than 3Hz) on my 480x320 LCD Picomite, at 378MHz a not insignificant improvement on the previous of 350mS :-) Still don't really understand why though?
