That includes the AgonLight2

They spelled it Agon Lite 2 but PiHut is as-spelled in the link.

Nice article - thanks.

The Colour Maximite 2 got 21 milliseconds - 62 times the speed of the Agon Lite (and almost 6,000 times as fast as the Commodore 64 BASIC!).

I should note that I used the original David Ahl listing (below), which condenses the logic onto fewer lines. We know that makes a slight improvement in speed (as opposed to it all being separate lines).

For the sake of curiosity, I split the logic into separate lines, and it did add 4 milliseconds to the time. Not much compared to other computers, but a significant portion of it's own time (20% longer). It does show how the slightest change can affect each benchmark to favour/detriment from one machine to another.

Using the power of MMBasic....

RP2040 (Geek) board at 378MHz is 45ms (132ms at 133MHz).
