small code size is quite impressive. looking forward to seeing more of your opengl stuff

definitely some scene material :)

reminds me of pig guard with food in a basket :)

pretty cool dodi. I had a crazy idea. There I am using that word again. Anyway, if Unlimited Detail tech is for real, there is the potential for crazy built upon crazy. Faster rendering through masks, for instance.

really nice

Is there a way I can access 'myself' in a udt sub call?

Sub Toon.Init()
ClassStats Toon.Fire
ClassStats Toon.Water
End Sub

[ thanks fxm ]

I love your work. Not that I understand any of it

I was able to improve the performance. Might take a breather before I begin researching the other stuff. "put_test.bas" #Include "fbgfx.bi" #If __FB_LANG__ = "fb" Using fb #EndIf Dim e As EVENT Dim Shared As Integer SCR_W = 480 Dim Shared As Integer SCR_H = 360 Dim Shared As Inte...

Just a little update for you guys. I discovered that the main culprit in the performance hit is this guy

Int(sng)

That said, I plan on diving into the realms of GL, Cairo and ASM.

Thanks for yall's input. (no I am not from the south)

I made the main loops stop after 100 executions and print out the execution time. On my system both versions are equal in speed (less than 2 % difference, cairo_test.bas was a bit faster in 2 of 3 tests). Interesting. On my machine it shows that Cairo is using around 34% of the cpu while the fbgfx ...

the cairo version runs slower. I was wondering if you are familiar enough with Cairo to suggest speed improvements. Thanks for the compiler warnings list. They don't appear here, but I get 'suspicious pointer assignment' messages. Yeah I'd like to learn opengl. Relsoft's EasyGL thread suggests "rend...

Between my own projects I've been trying to work out a sub which does what you describe.

The tricky part is flattening out the vertical lines representing repeat color values

worthy of closer inspection
