I just found this cellular automata program video on Youtube:



It looks pretty cool Too bad there is no download link.

Wa is it plain basic ? (although I guess yeah since no one has hacked the Prime yet afaik)

yeah it's pure Basic.

Now imagine what we could do with asm on the prime....

400MHz cpu + 2D acceleration = win.

There is a download link. if you go to the site pointed to in the video, you get to here http://calc.fjk.ch/?p=826#more-826, which has the source of the program. If you want to run it in the simulator, you will have to change the #'s to ≠'s, because copy-pasting those must not work correctly.

With 2D acceleration and the speed of basic on this thing, that should be doable with BASIC.

Off-topic-ish, but still related to HP Prime performances, someone posted a sierpinski triangle program and video that generates the thing in 6 seconds, which is pretty impressive. Sadly, since the author's past and repeated criminal activities towards some TI-Planet staff (IRL and online) and TI-Planet itself, along with repeated rule-breaking over here and there, I think it is now against Omnimaga and TI-Planet rules to link to any of his webpages, let alone mention him. The triangle can easily be found via search engines, though.

There is also a mandelbrot program by Tim Wessman there, although this one is kinda slow. There are also some interesting graphs, there, which maybe Tim, Critor or Kerm could try on a real calc to see how fast they are. I wonder if advanced graphs could actually be used for animated game backgrounds?
