Need Help with faster Rendering

[lauriszz123]

Hello there, I'm new to the forums, but by no means I'm new to Lua and Love2D!

So okay, I'm rendering a table with RGB data, but doing so with the CPU, how can I render it faster for more FPS. THANKS!

main.lua file is here: https://github.com/lauriszz123/LuaOS/bl ... r/main.lua

So as far I understand your draw routine it looks like you're trying to draw every single pixel on the screen as a draw point instruction. This is a really slow approach to try to render things. So to help you we would need to know what you really want to try to achieve.

ImageData is your friend, in this case. Rather than having the gfx table, store the graphics data in an ImageData object. It has ImageData:setPixel and ImageData:getPixel methods; however, maybe it's faster to use its :getPointer() method to access it through FFI.

Then, have an Image object with the same dimensions ready for drawing. In the draw callback, use (Image):replacePixels to transfer the ImageData to the Image, and draw the Image.
