I am trying to get this to work with hardware images. I can't seem to get it.
Could someone give me a hand?
Thanks
RE: HW image version of this little stupid thing - bplus - 09-12-2023
I never worked with Hardware images the Wiki for _copyimage didn't show an example in my quick scan.
I wonder if Terry's tutorial might have something?

grymmjack, It looks like Space Invaders for old fogies over 20 years of age.
Joking aside it looks great. Keep it up.

Sorry, it doesn't. Something I need to add in the near future.
RE: HW image version of this little stupid thing - TerryRitchie - 09-12-2023
It's well worth learning to use hardware images. Here is a little demo I just wrote showing the power of hardware images. This program creates 8000 sprites and then let's the user switch between software and hardware mode to see the performance difference. I'm going to start creating demos for a lesson on hardware vs software images in the tutorial. It's long overdue.
Keys:
H - hardware mode
S - software mode
ESC - leave program
Note: You may need to decrease the amount of objects depending on your system's performance. Change the TOTAL = 8000 to a lower number that doesn't crash the program.

Well done!
But I purposely reduced the object count from 8000 to 4000 because with 4000 the screen was getting a bit crowded which looked gross.
I got 19FPS from "software" mode and usually 1000FPS from "hardware" mode. This was on a HP laptop which originally had Windows8 on it, with Intel Sandy Bridge CPU, MESA graphics and on Slackel Linux (based on Slackware).
