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

[netmaestro]

Yes, that'll be it for sure because it's only doing a delay(1) if the window message is 0. So moving the mouse keeps the delay from happening because there is always a window message.

Ok, I will fix this behavior.

The last one (v0.3):
Removed the DrawText().
Fixed the Delay(1) problem.


You can remove the last 100 sprites (Right mouse button) too.

Tell me your FPSes please

65 fps @500, 45 fps @1000. Good work!

Thanks.
And how fast is zSprite?

Here are the finished version (v0.4)
[ADD] Right mouse set the FPS(min) value to 99999.

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 that is the next reason why I bought PB

I belive this comparison is better for PB as a small donation (from me)

[netmaestro]

To get down to 27 fps, which is the rate @1000 for Blitz, I have to put 1700 sprites on the PB version! That's 70% better performance under heavy load.

Belive me the percent will be more and more better if you add more and more sprites into the PB version.

Now I have to wait for the OpenGL 'nativ' SUBSYSTEM for PB.
And than we will compare it again, right?

Trying to keep the FPS about the same, I got

Blitz: 25FPS -> 500 sprites (about 49% CPU utilisation)
PB: 27FPS -> 600 sprites (about 43% CPU utilisation)

P4 laptop 3GHz & latest versions of test programs.

The version has a bigger sprite size!
Because of this...the FPS will be slower.

(It is not the version which was tested from @netmaestro and the 70% result)
Maybe netmastro will retest this version again?

[thefool]

newest test file, 2000 sprites, 52 in fps.

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.

The sprites are really the same size..... trim the blank space off of the original.

Of course! But you will find not so many small size sprites as was on the previous versions.
