That's very cool demo!
But it really sucks up the processing power...
Have you been able to make a playable game with it yet?

very cool demo!
This makes me wonder if it would be possible to have game editor support some type of plug in mechanism. If we had this type of ability we would not need any perf work in game editor as we could simply make CPU intensive code native.

Increase Speed of Demo

INCREASE SPEED OF DEMO
GEWOLF_SCREEN_WIDTH = 320;
GEWOLF_SCREEN_HEIGHT = 240;
The speed can be increased by reducing the resolution. There are two integer variables that determine the resolution, "GEWOLF_SCREEN_WIDTH" and "GEWOLF_SCREEN_HEIGHT". They are initialized within the "Create Actor" event for the "Screen" canvas. If you reduce them to 320x240 it will function at a playable frame rate. The bottleneck is definately in the "setpen()" and "putpixel()" functions.

you beat me to it. I was about to post a reply to this effect.
I set the height and width though to the height and width of the actor canvas in the example i am working with as this allowed me to dry different sizes of views simply by resizing the actor in GE.
Question though have you tried sorting pen changes? I am wondering if the pen issue really is a setting issue or a pen change issue? If it is a change issue then we could simply queue up the pens in an array, sort by pen type, and draw the pixels for a pen at once. Would be interesting to see how much if any this speeds the drawing up.
