Generate a random black and white 320x240 image continuously, showing FPS (frames per second).

Sample image:

Axe

Note that since the calculator's screen is 96x64, this example uses those dimensions instead of 320x240.

Instead of naively drawing each pixel to the screen, this implementation directly writes random numbers to the buffer, which randomly sets each pixel. Because Axe does not have native clock support, the FPS counter is simulated by counting "ticks" at the known interrupt rate of 107.79 Hz (rounded to 108).

It is possible to notice some vertical line patterns in the noise. This is likely due to the pseudorandom number generator and not the drawing method.

This example gets steady 48 FPS on a TI-84 Plus Silver Edition running at 15 MHz. It gets 26 FPS when running at 6 MHz. Some pixels appear gray because the duration of each frame is shorter than the screen's notoriously slow response time. If a pixel is toggled very quickly, it never has time to fully transition to white or black.

Currently, Euler Math Toolbox does not have optimized routines to plot matrices with color information. The frames per second are consequently not really good.

Icon and Unicon

Icon/Unicon provide a portable graphics interface that runs on multiple platforms. The frame rates will be lower than many of the other languages. There are several possible approaches to painting this random noise.

Using DrawPoint(c,r) for each pixel base on essentially a coin flip (speed ~= 1x)
Using DrawPoint!L on a list L := [c1,r1,c2,r2,...] of foreground pixels to be painted based on a coin flip (speed ~= 2x)
Using DrawImage to draw a randomly constructed bi-level images(see pg 157 of the graphics book, speed ~= 10x)

<lang Icon>link printf

procedure main()

  &window := open("B&W noise 320x240","g","size=320,240","bg=white","fg=black") | 
             stop("Open window failed ")

Average FPS are displayed when the window is closed.

With this revision, on my laptop, I typically get in the range of 58..59 FPS, with a cpu load from J of about 3% (sometimes as much as 5%, sometimes as low as 0.1%). I am probably limited by v-sync, and (hypothetically speaking) if I tuned my opengl drivers I perhaps could get significantly faster fps. However, since my screen only refreshes approximately 60 times per second, anything over that would be meaningless.

About some of the constants: 160 120 corresponds to a 320 by 240 rendering area (this J version 6 mechanism will be obsolete soon, but I think we should wait for the new code bases stabilize before replacing this code), and the rendering area is not resizable. 53050 was picked because on average half of the pixels will be dark and half of them will be light: We have a black background and 53050 random pixel coordinates (out of 75800 total pixels) being set to being light -- because so many of them will randomly overlap we have on average approximately 50% of each. It would be more efficient to use a pixel shader, pushing the randomizing process into the graphics hardware. But, with this small of a display, efficiency is not really an issue with this approach.

Java

This could be done more concisely, but the version below features the following enhancements:

- Resizable window

- Real-time blurring of noise behind the FPS display

- Cycling through FPS display modes using mouse clicks

- Very fast: 1000+ FPS on a 2.8 GHz Core Duo (with 64-bit JRE). This is capped because the maximum resolution of the timers available is 1 ms <lang java>import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import java.awt.image.*; import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.Random; import javax.swing.*;
