I knew it would be asking a lot to throw this application at Creative in it's interpretive form .. :P
The program is based on the 'Morphing Dots' IB Pro program whose author I can't recall.
It is a maths and graphics intensive beast of a program.
Running under the 2D graphics of compiled IBPro (or EBasic) it could generate screens using 20,000 dots .. :o
But that was using the Pro DirectX features, and graphics buffers which could be locked while writing took place, giving a significant speed increase.
Nevertheless, Creative makes a pretty good job of it, even in it's interpretive form and using the older DirectX graphics method.
I think 1000 dots is on the ragged edge (20 times less than in EBasic). It still looks reasonable though.
all the best, :)

Great example!
Do you have the Pro version codes?
I'd really love seeing this program running under Ebasic's powerfull graphic commands :)
Sure, here it is .. :)
I've altered the code for Creative somewhat to try to improve it's response - but they are very similar ..
The EBasic graphics facilities and compiler make easy work of it .. :)
all the best,

Super!
Thanks a lot Graham!
