Comparing PB4.0 vs zSprite for BlitzMax....

Hi Icesoft, by doing a side-by-side comparison it seems that your version doesn't render nearly as many sprites on-screen at a count of 100.

I did a quick count of your sprites & the most I could count was 30.

Are a lot off screen, or are you counting the drop-shadow as a sprite?

Blitz version handles this WAY worse. (50% less fps or so.)
I like this results
Maybe a new OpenGL driver will improve the Blitz result.

You mean i should use another driver than the newest???

system: athlon xp 3800+, 1024 mbyte ram, 400 gb hdd space(whatever.), radeon 9600 XT 256mb, windows xp sp. 2, newest catalyst drivers.

No! There will generated always 100 sprites with each left mouse click.
No not off screen but overlapped.
Angle can be 360 degre and I used not all degres as an own positions)
I will change it and upload a new version.

No. I thought your driver is not the latest.

70 fps @500, 35 fps @1000. Quality looks very good.

Thanks!

And how fast is zSprite?
Oh yeah, it's a comparison. I catch on fast, don't I?

For the Blitz version: 55 fps @500, 27 fps @1000. Significantly slower.

And zSprite is still slower

do you care to share the source so we can see if it can be optimized (eg. some assembly optimizations like you would do if it was a real lib to distribute?)

There is no comparison between PB & BMax. PB will win in speed, stability and features.

[ADD] Speed optimized (Level 1 of 3)
