Fractals

[RXB]

I timed a few Basic programs in Basic and XB and the results were always better in XB.

25 seconds Basic vs 18 seconds XB

35 seconds Basic vs 29 seconds XB

15 seconds Basic vs 11 seconds XB

22 seconds Basic vs 16 seconds XB

 

So yea using VDP XB is much faster.

Now I can use a trick in RXB to move a program to RAM instead in Classic99 it was easy.

Times are:

45 seconds Basic vs 28 seconds in RXB same prorgam. So RAM is much much faster.

The next step is to implement the zooming function and save/load the result to a file.

It took me 6 1/2 years to find time and motivation to finish this...

You maybe will notice that I used the "Marching Ants" method for the selection rectangle, a tribute to Bill Atkinson.
