Quite Cool.

I got bored and played around with gradients: http://www.hmkdesign.dk/rebol/bored.r

looks cool :-)

what framerate do you get?

hypnotically slow, but not a slideshow

funny, my mac and the PC gives about the same framerate. the rate 
is set to 50, but I get about 5-7 fps on both machines.

This is on Ubuntu

I expected the mac to be about half as fast.

Looks like a jet engine fan ...... on a P3 733 I get about 3 frames/sec

How do you know the frame rate on a moving pattern?  It could be 
187 frames per second, and moving so fast that it appears to be moving 
slow, or even backwards : )

That aside, I get about 3 frames/sec on a 2Ghz system.

One can always change "r: r + 1 // 360" to "r: r + 10 // 360"

Oh...and very nice Henrik.

it's a haphazard set of tuples, blocks and "oh hey that looks funny, 
I'll put that in" moments. presto, jet engine purely with gradients.

I think it's pretty good as a composite engine, although a bit slow 
way to draw things.

Henrick, you should get bored more often ;-)

:-)

You can speed it up a little bit by doing this:
view/new/title center-face main: make-face/spec 'box [
  size: 400x400 
  rate: 50 feel: make feel [

ie. instead of using LAYOUT which makes a face with a box in it, 
just make the box.

I see no speed difference, but maybe it needs to be measured.

Mmm... maybe I imagined it.... You have to admit it's a simpler face 
hierarchy though.

yeah, but when showing the face, would that affect the rest of the 
layout?

Obviously the box effect consumes the most cpu, but I think since 
the box is inside another face, it needs to be copied into its frame 
buffer.

I think the size of the face being refreshed has the most effect, 
even if two same-size faces are layered on top of eachother

Ah well, looks only about 1% faster.  I remember also Cyphre reporting 
that face refreshes speed up significantly when the offset is at 
0x0.

that's very interesting

it would be nice to know more about this to better understand how 
to optimize such things

Yes it would.  Nice effect tby the way.

thanks :-)

do http://home.wilddsl.net.au/anton/rebol/game/maze-generator.r

With enough memory you can prerender the images and simply play them. 
And after a few degrees it looks the same as before, so you can save 
a lot memory.

(was to Henrik)

Looks interesting, Henrik!

Do the standard Vid gadgets not have double click support?

well there is a way to detect a doubleclick

the second action block ... doesn't work.

no, that's for alt action, not doubleclick

what is double click?

anyway, alt click doesn't work either.

Ahh... I remember now.

I think you need to modify the feel

text-list does not have double/alt click support.

engage: func [f a e] [
					; A click event has happened.
					if a = 'down [
						; Is it on a valid element?
						if cnt > length? slf/data [exit]
						; If not extended selection, clear other selections:
						if not e/control [f/state: cnt clear picked]
						; Set selection and call the action function:
						alter picked f/text
						do :act slf f/text
					]
					if a = 'up [f/state: none]
					show pane
				]

Can I lock FIELD ? (something like field/edit?: no)

Rebolek - use label instead? uh, hard to change when layout is out 
already .... I have disable/enable functions, but it works only for 
mouse sadly, you can still tab to the field ...

Pekr: that may be enough for me, I'm using just one field, so probably 
no problem with tab.

you will have to unfocus it somehow though ...

ok, will look for the code ...

thanks

sent you an email right now - mine, not sure how actual version, 
but also found Volker's version on rebol org - I would probably better 
trust Volker's code :-)

great, I'll check it, thanks
