I'll make a preset too 🙂

Here is one. Hope you like 🙂

I have a kick-ass idea...but I need to know how IFS work (I assume anybody that knows what IFS are know what I'm planning 😉 )

Nixa, your christmas tree r0x!

I want to make one too, although it will be a totally flat tree 🙁 Maybe a postcard tree? 😉

okay, here it is ...

Diesto, Nice tree you got there also 🙂 I like the snow falling down, but why the hell you used a DYNAMIC movement with "d=d*0.98" ? You can do the same effect with a regular movement if you don't want to add any dynamics into it and even the blitter feedback works fine! A dm just sucks up so much fps 🧟

Thanks!

Regarding the DynaMove: I'm still learning, so I'm grateful for every hint. But I just checked it, and there was no difference in speed between Move and DynaMove. A DynaMove with (almost) no calculations should be as fast as the Move. And due to my test it is. For the Blitter Feedback you are right: That gives a few extra fps.

I replaced the DM with a regular movement and gained 4 FPS.

Nice tree. That's a whole whack of superscopes. 👍

Actually a regular movement works quite differently from a dynamic movement.

A regular movement calculates the formula once per pixel at the beginning of the preset, and stores this in a lookup table. This lookup table is then used to perform the movement every frame.

A dynamic movement calculates the formula once per gridpoint every frame, and uses that.

So in practically all cases, a movement will be faster because it has nothing to calculate per frame.

this is my Christmas Tree. I hope you like it.

I must say, even for a 8th preset, you've done better 😁

Sorry

Keep up the good work!!
