Hi Folks
Here is an animated pixel morphing demo : 'BASH_PC'. (A GUI user interface is in development to make such morphing easy).
Just UNZIP, LRUN or ESCape. This one uses just 5x9 pixels, more are possible, in full colour... Steve.

Hi Steve,
Still Morphing around I see, or is this one just simple animation tweening.
Which I wonder is quicker in delivering to screen a single colour rectangle in SuperBASIC
STRIP colour CURSOR PRINT ‘Space’ or BLOCK w, d, x, y, colour.

Hi Qbits,
No doubt using BLOCK would be fastest..., but I first wrote the prototype using GRAPHICS, then tweaked for CURSOR !
Also, CURSOR has the inconvenience that it only works in channel 1 windows...., so Block would be better indeed.
THE animated morphing GUI is finished, and is being thoroughly tested for QPC2. (More news soon), thanks, Steve.

A few years ago, when I was playing with UDG, I tested which is faster: PRINT 'char' or BLOCK w, d, x, y, colour. Both were roughly the same speed
But STRIP colour CURSOR PRINT ‘char’ is a bit slower then BLOCK, if you need to set the STRIP (or INK or PAPER) and CURSOR before each PRINT.
