The ragged edge for CBasic ..

[GWS]

I knew it would be asking a lot to throw this application at Creative in it's interpretive form .. 

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 ..
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!
