Morphing Stained Glass - TerryRitchie - 09-13-2024
I came up with the little program below while investigating a method of proceduraly creating landscapes. However, it is slow as heck. Setting TOTAL to anything above 25 is just painful.
I tried using a memory buffer for the Points() array ( _MEMNEW) but it made absolutely no difference in speed.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to speed this routine up?

Oh you are moving Voronoi Points around, nice idea!

RE: Morphing Stained Glass - Petr - 09-13-2024
I achieved only a very slight speedup by not having the image written to the _MEM array point by point, but to the array and then putting it all at once into the MEM area at the end. I have no ideas for further acceleration because nothing can be calculated in advance and it depends on running in a loop.

Also, thank you @Petr for taking a look at this and your insights.
RE: Morphing Stained Glass - Pete - 09-13-2024
Speed the routine up? Sure, type faster!
Stupid remarks aside, I came up with the same concept as Petr, but I don't think I can see a way to apply it to reasonably speed things up anymore than what you have already accomplished.
Hey, Mark found a way to give himself 25,000 pts. I'm stuck at 97. Best check into what he posted.
Oh well, back to SCREEN 0.

This code is fast! I'm picking it apart to make sense of it.
RE: Morphing Stained Glass - DSMan195276 - 09-13-2024
Something a bit different, I changed your rendering code into a shader. The code is a mess but it does work for me and I can get 500 points rendering at 60FPS. YMMV, I pass the points in as a uniform and that limits how many you can use, you should be able to do at least 100 though. There are better ways to do it that could support more points but this was the easiest way since I was reusing some code I already had.
The code is below, and it requires a header file to be placed next to it so it can access some functions:

points(p).x = Rnd * 1 ' random x location
points(p).y = Rnd * 1 ' random y location
cols(p).x = Rnd * .5 + .5
cols(p).y = Rnd * .5 + .5
cols(p).z = Rnd * .5 + .5
'cols(p) = _RGB32(Rnd * 128 + 128, Rnd * 128 + 128, Rnd * 128 + 128) ' random color above 128, 128, 128 vectors(p).x = (Rnd - Rnd) * .005 ' random x velocity
